affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7913-1 advisory.
It was discovered that the stb library, included in MAME, had a
heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue
to crash the program or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-16981)
It was discovered that the tinyexr library, included in MAME, had a heap- based buffer over-read
in the function DecodePixelData. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information or crash the program.
(CVE-2022-34300)
It was discovered that the expat library, included in MAME, had an integer-overflow in the function
doProlog. An attacker could possibly use this issue to crash the program or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2021-46143)
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
