The remote Debian 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2868 advisory.

  • An out-of-bounds heap buffer read flaw was found in the way advancecomp before 2.1-2018/02 handled processing of ZIP files. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash the advzip utility by tricking it into processing crafted ZIP files. (CVE-2018-1056)

  • An issue was discovered in AdvanceCOMP through 2.1. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function be_uint32_read() located in endianrw.h. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to a binary. It allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact when a victim opens a specially crafted file. (CVE-2019-8379)

  • An issue was discovered in AdvanceCOMP through 2.1. An invalid memory address occurs in the function adv_png_unfilter_8 in lib/png.c. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to a binary. It allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact when a victim opens a specially crafted file. (CVE-2019-8383)

  • In AdvanceCOMP 2.1, png_compress in pngex.cc in advpng has an integer overflow upon encountering an invalid PNG size, which results in an attempted memcpy to write into a buffer that is too small. (There is also a heap-based buffer over-read.) (CVE-2019-9210)

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