"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1776769506 advisory.
- libexif through 0.6.25 has a flaw in decoding MakerNotes. If the exif_mnote_data_get_value function gets
passed in a 0 size, the passed in-buffer would be overwritten due to an integer underflow.
(CVE-2026-32775)
- In libexif through 0.6.25, an unsigned 32bit integer overflow in Nikon MakerNote handling could be used by
local attackers to cause crashes or information leaks. This only affects 32bit systems. (CVE-2026-40385)
- In libexif through 0.6.25, an integer underflow in size checking for Fuji and Olympus MakerNote decoding
could be used by attackers to crash or leak information out of libexif-using programs. (CVE-2026-40386)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
