The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5432-1 advisory.

  • libpng before 1.6.32 does not properly check the length of chunks against the user limit. (CVE-2017-12652)

  • An issue has been found in libpng 1.6.34. It is a SEGV in the function png_free_data in png.c, related to the recommended error handling for png_read_image. (CVE-2018-14048)

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