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

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.1.1552, a path traversal issue in     Vims tar.vim plugin can allow overwriting of arbitrary files when opening specially crafted tar     archives. Impact is low because this exploit requires direct user interaction. However, successfully     exploitation can lead to overwriting sensitive files or placing executable code in privileged locations,     depending on the permissions of the process editing the archive. The victim must edit such a file using     Vim which will reveal the filename and the file content, a careful user may suspect some strange things     going on. Successful exploitation could results in the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the     underlying operating system. Version 9.1.1552 contains a patch for the vulnerability.(CVE-2025-53905)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.1.1551, a path traversal issue in     Vims zip.vim plugin can allow overwriting of arbitrary files when opening specially crafted zip     archives. Impact is low because this exploit requires direct user interaction. However, successfully     exploitation can lead to overwriting sensitive files or placing executable code in privileged locations,     depending on the permissions of the process editing the archive. The victim must edit such a file using     Vim which will reveal the filename and the file content, a careful user may suspect some strange things     going on. Successful exploitation could results in the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the     underlying operating system. Version 9.1.1551 contains a patch for the vulnerability.(CVE-2025-53906)

The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to AHV-11.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-11.0 advisory.

  - libxml2 before 2.12.10 and 2.13.x before 2.13.6 has a use-after-free in xmlSchemaIDCFillNodeTables and     xmlSchemaBubbleIDCNodeTables in xmlschemas.c. To exploit this, a crafted XML document must be validated     against an XML schema with certain identity constraints, or a crafted XML schema must be used.
    (CVE-2024-56171)

  - ncurses 6.3 before patch 20220416 has an out-of-bounds read and segmentation violation in convert_strings     in tinfo/read_entry.c in the terminfo library. (CVE-2022-29458)

  - Allows modifying some file metadata (e.g. last modified) with filter=data or file permissions (chmod)     with filter=tar of files outside the extraction directory. You are affected by this vulnerability if     using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract()     using the filter= parameter with a value of data or tar. See the tarfile extraction filters     documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter for more     information. Only Python versions 3.12 or later are affected by these vulnerabilities, earlier versions     don't include the extraction filter feature. Note that for Python 3.14 or later the default value of     filter= changed from no filtering to `data, so if you are relying on this new default behavior then     your usage is also affected. Note that none of these vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation     of source distributions which are tar archives as source distributions already allow arbitrary code     execution during the build process. However when evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid     installing source distributions with suspicious links. (CVE-2024-12718)

  - Allows the extraction filter to be ignored, allowing symlink targets to point outside the destination     directory, and the modification of some file metadata. You are affected by this vulnerability if using the     tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() using the     filter= parameter with a value of data or tar. See the tarfile extraction filters documentation     https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter for more information. Note that     for Python 3.14 or later the default value of filter= changed from no filtering to `data, so if you     are relying on this new default behavior then your usage is also affected. Note that none of these     vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation of source distributions which are tar archives as     source distributions already allow arbitrary code execution during the build process. However when     evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid installing source distributions with suspicious     links. (CVE-2025-4138, CVE-2025-4330)

  - When using a TarFile.errorlevel = 0 and extracting with a filter the documented behavior is that any     filtered members would be skipped and not extracted. However the actual behavior of TarFile.errorlevel = 0     in affected versions is that the member would still be extracted and not skipped. (CVE-2025-4435)

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

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 7.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-7.6 advisory.

  - NLnet Labs Unbound 1.19.1 up to and including version 1.25.0 has a vulnerability in the DNSSEC validator     that enables denial of service and possible remote code execution as a result of deep copying a data     structure and erroneously overwriting a destination pointer. An adversary can exploit the vulnerability by     controlling a malicious signed zone and querying a vulnerable Unbound. When DS sub-queries need to suspend     validation due to NSEC3 computational budget exhaustion (introduced in Unbound 1.19.1), Unbound deep-     copies response messages to preserve them across memory region teardown. A struct-assignment bug     overwrites the destination's pointer with the source's pointer. After the sub-query region is freed, the     resumed validator dereferences this dangling pointer, triggering a crash or potentially enabling arbitrary     code execution. Unbound 1.25.1 contains a patch with a fix to preserve the correct pointer when deep     copying the data structure. (CVE-2026-33278)

  - A vulnerability has been found in GNU Binutils 2.45. The affected element is the function elf_swap_shdr in     the library bfd/elfcode.h of the component Linker. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow.
    The attack must be carried out locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The     identifier of the patch is 9ca499644a21ceb3f946d1c179c38a83be084490. To fix this issue, it is recommended     to deploy a patch. The code maintainer replied with [f]ixed for 2.46. (CVE-2025-11083)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow problem was found in glib through an incorrect calculation of buffer size in     the g_escape_uri_string() function. If the string to escape contains a very large number of unacceptable     characters (which would need escaping), the calculation of the length of the escaped string could     overflow, leading to a potential write off the end of the newly allocated string. (CVE-2025-13601)

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.1.1552, a path traversal issue in     Vim's tar.vim plugin can allow overwriting of arbitrary files when opening specially crafted tar archives.
    Impact is low because this exploit requires direct user interaction. However, successfully exploitation     can lead to overwriting sensitive files or placing executable code in privileged locations, depending on     the permissions of the process editing the archive. The victim must edit such a file using Vim which will     reveal the filename and the file content, a careful user may suspect some strange things going on.
    Successful exploitation could results in the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying     operating system. Version 9.1.1552 contains a patch for the vulnerability. (CVE-2025-53905)
