The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6428-1 advisory.

It was discovered that LibTIFF could be made to read out of bounds when processing certain malformed image     files with the tiffcrop utility. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause tiffcrop 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.
