The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6408-1 advisory.
Yair Mizrahi discovered that libXpm incorrectly handled certain malformed XPM image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted XPM image file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to consume memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-43786)
Yair Mizrahi discovered that libXpm incorrectly handled certain malformed XPM image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted XPM image file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause libXpm to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-43787)
Alan Coopersmith discovered that libXpm incorrectly handled certain malformed XPM image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted XPM image file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libXpm to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-43788, CVE-2023-43789)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
