"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1777455968 advisory.
- Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write, delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and
ICC image metadata. Prior to version 0.28.8, an uncaught exception was found in Exiv2. The vulnerability
is in the preview component, which is only triggered when running Exiv2 with an extra command line
argument, like -pp. Due to an integer overflow, the code attempts to create a huge std::vector, which
causes Exiv2 to crash with an uncaught exception. This issue has been patched in version 0.28.8.
(CVE-2026-27631)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
