  - CVE-2017-15412: Prevent use after free when calling     XPath extension functions that allowed remote attackers     to cause DoS or potentially RCE (bsc#1077993)

  - CVE-2016-5131: Use-after-free vulnerability in libxml2     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service or     possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors     related to the XPointer range-to function. (bsc#1078813)

  - CVE-2017-5130: Fixed a potential remote buffer overflow     in function xmlMemoryStrdup() (bsc#1078806)

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2972 advisory.

    Five security issues have been discovered in libxml2: XML C parser and toolkit. CVE-2016-9318 Vulnerable     versions do not offer a flag directly indicating that the current document may be read but other files may     not be opened, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) attacks via     a crafted document. CVE-2017-5130 Integer overflow in memory debug code, allowed a remote attacker to     potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted XML file. CVE-2017-5969 Parser in a recover mode allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted XML document.
    CVE-2017-16932 When expanding a parameter entity in a DTD, infinite recursion could lead to an infinite     loop or memory exhaustion. CVE-2022-23308 the application that validates XML using xmlTextReaderRead()     with XML_PARSE_DTDATTR and XML_PARSE_DTDVALID enabled becomes vulnerable to this use-after-free bug. This     issue can result in denial of service. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version     2.9.4+dfsg1-2.2+deb9u6. We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages. For the detailed security     status of libxml2 please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-     tracker.debian.org/tracker/libxml2 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply     these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

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

According to its self-reported version, the Nessus Network Monitor running on the remote host is prior to 6.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2023-23 advisory. Several of the third-party components were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers. Out of caution and in line with best practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Nessus Network Monitor 6.2.2 updates the following components:

  - c-ares from version 1.10.0 to version 1.19.1.
  - curl from version 7.79.1 to version 8.1.2.

According to the versions of the libxml2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow in xmlmemory.c in libxml2 before     2.9.5, as used in Google Chrome prior to 62.0.3202.62     and other products, allowed a remote attacker to     potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted XML     file.(CVE-2017-5130)

  - libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a     heap-based buffer over-read in the     xmlDictComputeFastKey function in dict.c. This     vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as     PHP, to crash. (CVE-2017-9049)

The version of Oracle HTTP Server installed on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities as referenced in the April 2020 CPU advisory:

  - An integer overflow in xmlmemory.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5, as used in Oracle HTTP Server's Web Listener     component, allows a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted XML file.
    (CVE-2017-5130)

  - An easily exploitable vulnerability in Oracle HTTP Server's Web Listener component affecting the supported     version 11.1.1.9.0. An unauthenticated, remote attacker with network access via HTTP can exploit this to     compromise Oracle HTTP Server, resulting in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle     HTTP Server accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle HTTP Server     accessible data. (CVE-2020-2952)
