The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6824-1 advisory.
It was discovered that GIFLIB incorrectly handled certain GIF files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2021-40633, CVE-2022-28506, CVE-2023-39742)
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.
