The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6108-1 advisory.

  • jhead 3.06 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via exif.c in function Put16u. (CVE-2021-34055)

  • Jhead 3.06.0.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by placing them in a JPEG filename and then using the regeneration -rgt50 option. (CVE-2022-41751)

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