"According to the version of the netpbm packages installed, the
EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is
affected by the following vulnerability :

  - The pm_mallocarray2 function in lib/util/mallocvar.c in
    Netpbm through 10.81.03 allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read)
    via a crafted image file, as demonstrated by
    pbmmask.(CVE-2018-8975)

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.");
