"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0843 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-55304:
    Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write, delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and
    ICC image metadata. A denial-of-service was found in Exiv2 version 0.28.5: a quadratic algorithm in the
    ICC profile parsing code in jpegBase::readMetadata() can cause Exiv2 to run for a long time. The denial-
    of-service is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted jpg image file. The bug is
    fixed in version 0.28.6.

    CVE-2025-54080:
    Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write, delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and
    ICC image metadata. An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 versions 0.28.5 and earlier. The out-of-
    bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image file. An attacker could
    potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a denial of service by crashing Exiv2, if they can trick
    the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. Note that this bug is only triggered when writing
    the metadata, which is a less frequently used Exiv2 operation than reading the metadata. The bug is fixed
    in version 0.28.6.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
