The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3185-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that libXpm incorrectly handled certain XPM files. If a user or automated system were     tricked into opening a specially crafted XPM file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause libXpm     to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the libXpm, libXdmcp, libICE packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow flaw leading to a heap-based buffer     overflow was found in libXpm. An attacker could use     this flaw to crash an application using libXpm via a     specially crafted XPM file. (CVE-2016-10164)

  - It was discovered that libXdmcp used weak entropy to     generate session keys. On a multi-user system using     xdmcp, a local attacker could potentially use     information available from the process list to brute     force the key, allowing them to hijack other users'     sessions. (CVE-2017-2625)

  - It was discovered that libICE used a weak entropy to     generate keys. A local attacker could potentially use     this flaw for session hijacking using the information     available from the process list. (CVE-2017-2626)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

This update for libXpm fixes the following issues :

  - A heap overflow in XPM handling could be used by     attackers supplying XPM files to crash or potentially     execute code. (bsc#1021315)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

This update for xorg-x11-libXpm fixes the following security issue :

  - A heap overflow in XPM handling could be used by     attackers supplying XPM files to crash or potentially     execute code. (bsc#1021315)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Multiple integer overflows in libXpm before 3.5.12, when a program requests parsing XPM extensions on a     64-bit platform, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute     arbitrary code via (1) the number of extensions or (2) their concatenated length in a crafted XPM file,     which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-10164)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
