The version of Oracle OpenOffice.org installed on the remote host is prior to 3.3. It is, therefore, affected by several issues :

  - Issues exist relating to PowerPoint document processing     that may lead to arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2010-2935, CVE-2010-2936)

  - A directory traversal vulnerability exists in zip / jar     package extraction. (CVE-2010-3450)

  - Issues exist relating to RTF document processing that     may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-3451,     CVE-2010-3452)

  - Issues exist relating to Word document processing that     may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-3453,     CVE-2010-3454)

  - Issues exist in the third-party XPDF library relating     to PDF document processing that may allow arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2010-3702, CVE-2010-3704)

  - OpenOffice.org includes a version of LIBXML2 that is     affected by multiple vulnerabilities. (CVE-2010-4008,     CVE-2010-4494)

  - An issue exists with PNG file processing that may allow     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-4253)

  - An issue exists with TGA file processing that may allow     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-4643)

a. ESXi update to third-party component libxml2

   The libxml2 third-party library has been updated which addresses    multiple security issues.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the names CVE-2010-4008, CVE-2011-0216, CVE-2011-1944,    CVE-2011-2834, CVE-2011-3905, CVE-2011-3919 and CVE-2012-0841 to    these issues.

Yang Dingning discovered a double free in libxml's Xpath processing, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2011:1749 advisory.

    The libxml2 library is a development toolbox providing the implementation     of various XML standards. One of those standards is the XML Path Language     (XPath), which is a language for addressing parts of an XML document.

    An off-by-one error, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in     the way libxml2 parsed certain XML files. A remote attacker could provide     a specially-crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked     against libxml2, would cause the application to crash or, potentially,     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the     application. (CVE-2011-0216)

    An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was     found in the way libxml2 parsed certain XPath expressions. If an attacker     were able to supply a specially-crafted XML file to an application using     libxml2, as well as an XPath expression for that application to run against     the crafted file, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly,     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-1944)

    Multiple flaws were found in the way libxml2 parsed certain XPath     expressions. If an attacker were able to supply a specially-crafted XML     file to an application using libxml2, as well as an XPath expression for     that application to run against the crafted file, it could cause the     application to crash. (CVE-2010-4008, CVE-2010-4494, CVE-2011-2821,     CVE-2011-2834)

    Note: Red Hat does not ship any applications that use libxml2 in a way that     would allow the CVE-2011-1944, CVE-2010-4008, CVE-2010-4494, CVE-2011-2821,     and CVE-2011-2834 flaws to be exploited; however, third-party applications     may allow XPath expressions to be passed which could trigger these flaws.

    Red Hat would like to thank the Google Security Team for reporting the     CVE-2010-4008 issue. Upstream acknowledges Bui Quang Minh from Bkis as the     original reporter of CVE-2010-4008.

    This update also fixes the following bugs:

    * A number of patches have been applied to harden the XPath processing code     in libxml2, such as fixing memory leaks, rounding errors, XPath numbers     evaluations, and a potential error in encoding conversion. (BZ#732335)

    All users of libxml2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,     which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The desktop must     be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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 version of Apple iTunes on the remote host is prior to version 10.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the WebKit, ImageIO, and libxml components. Note that these only affect iTunes for Windows.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The mingw32 packages in Scientific Linux 6 will no longer be updated proactively and will be deprecated with the release of Scientific Linux 6.4. These packages were provided to support other capabilities in Scientific Linux and were not intended for direct use.
You are advised to not use these packages with immediate effect.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libxml2 decoded entity references with long names. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2011-3919)

A heap-based buffer underflow flaw was found in the way libxml2 decoded certain entities. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2012-5134)

It was found that the hashing routine used by libxml2 arrays was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. Sending a specially crafted message to an XML service could result in longer processing time, which could lead to a denial of service. To mitigate this issue, randomization has been added to the hashing function to reduce the chance of an attacker successfully causing intentional collisions.
(CVE-2012-0841)

Multiple flaws were found in the way libxml2 parsed certain XPath (XML Path Language) expressions. If an attacker were able to supply a specially crafted XML file to an application using libxml2, as well as an XPath expression for that application to run against the crafted file, it could cause the application to crash. (CVE-2010-4008, CVE-2010-4494, CVE-2011-2821, CVE-2011-2834)

Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way libxml2 decoded certain XML files. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2011-0216, CVE-2011-3102)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way libxml2 parsed certain XPath expressions. If an attacker were able to supply a specially crafted XML file to an application using libxml2, as well as an XPath expression for that application to run against the crafted file, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2011-1944)

An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in libxml2. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash. (CVE-2011-3905)

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.
  - libbzip2 from version 1.0.6 to version 1.0.8.
  - libpcre from version 8.42 to version 8.44.
  - libxml2 from version 2.7.7 to version 2.11.1.
  - libxslt from version 1.1.26 to version 1.1.37.
  - libxmlsec from version 1.2.18 to version 1.2.37.
  - sqlite from version 3.27.2 to version 3.40.1.
  - jQuery Cookie from version 1.3.1 to version 1.4.1.
  - jQuery UI from version 1.13.0 to version 1.13.2.
  - OpenSSL from version 3.0.8 to version 3.0.9.
