The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4743-1 advisory.
It was discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle certain GIF images. If an user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted GIF file, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
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.
