The version of openslp installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2016-7567 advisory.

  - Buffer overflow in the SLPFoldWhiteSpace function in common/slp_compare.c in OpenSLP 2.0 allows remote     attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted string. (CVE-2016-7567)

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

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201707-05 (OpenSLP: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSLP. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition or       have other unspecified impacts.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to the version of the openslp packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Buffer overflow in the SLPFoldWhiteSpace function in     common/slp_compare.c in OpenSLP 2.0 allows remote     attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted     string.(CVE-2016-7567)
