A flaw was found in libxml2. A local user or an attacker providing a specially crafted XML catalog can trigger a NULL pointer dereference during XML catalog parsing. This occurs when a `nextCatalog` element lacks its mandatory `catalog` attribute, leading to the application crashing and causing a Denial of Service (DoS).

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - A flaw was found in libxml2. A local user or an attacker providing a specially crafted XML catalog can
    trigger a NULL pointer dereference during XML catalog parsing. This occurs when a `nextCatalog` element
    lacks its mandatory `catalog` attribute, leading to the application crashing and causing a Denial of
    Service (DoS). (CVE-2026-76781)

The remote Fedora 45 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-91259c13b9 advisory.

    libxml2 updated to version 2.15.4, compat libxml2_2.13 added, and rebuilds of packages linking to libxml2.
    Packages that FTBFS will require the compat package. It should be installed automatically by dnf if     required.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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

  - A flaw was found in libxml2. A local user or an attacker providing a specially crafted XML catalog can     trigger a NULL pointer dereference during XML catalog parsing. This occurs when a `nextCatalog` element     lacks its mandatory `catalog` attribute, leading to the application crashing and causing a Denial of     Service (DoS). (CVE-2026-76781)

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