There are two Information Disclosure vulnerabilities in colord, and they lie in colord/src/cd-device-db.c and colord/src/cd-profile-db.c separately. They exist because the 'err_msg' of 'sqlite3_exec' is not releasing after use, while libxml2 emphasizes that the caller needs to release it.

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

  - There are two Information Disclosure vulnerabilities in colord, and they lie in colord/src/cd-device-db.c     and colord/src/cd-profile-db.c separately. They exist because the 'err_msg' of 'sqlite3_exec' is not     releasing after use, while libxml2 emphasizes that the caller needs to release it. (CVE-2021-42523)

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

According to the versions of the colord packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
