The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.1.1 advisory.

  - JMSAppender in Log4j 1.2 is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data when the attacker has write     access to the Log4j configuration. The attacker can provide TopicBindingName and     TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName configurations causing JMSAppender to perform JNDI requests that result     in remote code execution in a similar fashion to CVE-2021-44228. Note this issue only affects Log4j 1.2     when specifically configured to use JMSAppender, which is not the default. Apache Log4j 1.2 reached end of     life in August 2015. Users should upgrade to Log4j 2 as it addresses numerous other issues from the     previous versions. (CVE-2021-4104)

  - It was found that the fix to address CVE-2021-44228 in Apache Log4j 2.15.0 was incomplete in certain non-     default configurations. This could allows attackers with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data     when the logging configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with either a Context Lookup (for     example, $${ctx:loginId}) or a Thread Context Map pattern (%X, %mdc, or %MDC) to craft malicious input     data using a JNDI Lookup pattern resulting in an information leak and remote code execution in some     environments and local code execution in all environments. Log4j 2.16.0 (Java 8) and 2.12.2 (Java 7) fix     this issue by removing support for message lookup patterns and disabling JNDI functionality by default.
    (CVE-2021-45046)

  - Apache Log4j2 2.0-beta9 through 2.15.0 (excluding security releases 2.12.2, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1) JNDI     features used in configuration, log messages, and parameters do not protect against attacker controlled     LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. An attacker who can control log messages or log message parameters     can execute arbitrary code loaded from LDAP servers when message lookup substitution is enabled. From     log4j 2.15.0, this behavior has been disabled by default. From version 2.16.0 (along with 2.12.2, 2.12.3,     and 2.3.1), this functionality has been completely removed. Note that this vulnerability is specific to     log4j-core and does not affect log4net, log4cxx, or other Apache Logging Services projects.
    (CVE-2021-44228)

  - xpointer.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5 (as used in Apple iOS before 10, OS X before 10.12, tvOS before 10, and     watchOS before 3, and other products) does not forbid namespace nodes in XPointer ranges, which allows     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory     corruption) via a crafted XML document. (CVE-2016-4658)

  - NSS (Network Security Services) versions prior to 3.73 or 3.68.1 ESR are vulnerable to a heap overflow     when handling DER-encoded DSA or RSA-PSS signatures. Applications using NSS for handling signatures     encoded within CMS, S/MIME, PKCS \#7, or PKCS \#12 are likely to be impacted. Applications using NSS for     certificate validation or other TLS, X.509, OCSP or CRL functionality may be impacted, depending on how     they configure NSS. *Note: This vulnerability does NOT impact Mozilla Firefox.* However, email clients and     PDF viewers that use NSS for signature verification, such as Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Evolution and     Evince are believed to be impacted. This vulnerability affects NSS < 3.73 and NSS < 3.68.1.
    (CVE-2021-43527)

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

Update to 2.9.7 which hopefully fixes all security issues

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

CVE-2016-4658 Namespace nodes must be copied to avoid use-after-free errors. But they don't necessarily have a physical representation in a document, so simply disallow them in XPointer ranges.

CVE-2016-5131 The old code would invoke the broken xmlXPtrRangeToFunction. range-to isn't really a function but a special kind of location step. Remove this function and always handle range-to in the XPath code. The old xmlXPtrRangeToFunction could also be abused to trigger a use-after-free error with the potential for remote code execution.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+wheezy7.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libxml2, a library providing support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML or HTML file that, when processed by an application using libxml2, would cause a denial-of-service against the application, or potentially, the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

This update for libxml2 fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2016-4658: use-after-free error could lead to crash     [bsc#1005544]

  - Fix NULL dereference in xpointer.c when in recovery mode     [bsc#1014873]

  - CVE-2016-9597: An XML document with many opening tags     could have caused a overflow of the stack not detected     by the recursion limits, allowing for DoS (bsc#1017497).

For CVE-2016-9318 we decided not to ship a fix since it can break existing setups. Please take appropriate actions if you parse untrusted XML files and use the new -noxxe flag if possible (bnc#1010675, bnc#1013930).

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.20.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.20.3 advisory.

  - xpointer.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5 (as used in Apple iOS before 10, OS X before 10.12, tvOS before 10, and     watchOS before 3, and other products) does not forbid namespace nodes in XPointer ranges, which allows     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory     corruption) via a crafted XML document. (CVE-2016-4658)

Applications using NSS for handling signatures     encoded within CMS, S/MIME, PKCS \#7, or PKCS \#12 are likely to be impacted. Applications using NSS for     certificate validation or other TLS, X.509, OCSP or CRL functionality may be impacted, depending on how     they configure NSS. *Note: This vulnerability does NOT impact Mozilla Firefox.* However, email clients and     PDF viewers that use NSS for signature verification, such as Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Evolution and     Evince are believed to be impacted. This vulnerability affects NSS < 3.73 and NSS < 3.68.1.
    (CVE-2021-43527)

  - Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.6, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.46 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.66 did not correctly parse the HTTP     transfer-encoding request header in some circumstances leading to the possibility to request smuggling     when used with a reverse proxy. Specifically: - Tomcat incorrectly ignored the transfer encoding header if     the client declared it would only accept an HTTP/1.0 response; - Tomcat honoured the identify encoding;
    and - Tomcat did not ensure that, if present, the chunked encoding was the final encoding.
    (CVE-2021-33037)

  - A flaw was found in the way RTAS handled memory accesses in userspace to kernel communication. On a locked     down (usually due to Secure Boot) guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (pseries     platform) a root like local user could use this flaw to further increase their privileges to that of a     running kernel. (CVE-2020-27777)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write affecting Linux since v2.6.19-rc1 was discovered in net/netfilter/x_tables.c.
    This allows an attacker to gain privileges or cause a DoS (via heap memory corruption) through user name     space (CVE-2021-22555)
