"The version of AIX installed on the remote host is prior to APAR IJ54779. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the IJ54779 advisory.

  - A buffer overflow was discovered in libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801. The function
    xmlSnprintfElementContent in valid.c is supposed to recursively dump the element content definition into a
    char buffer 'buf' of size 'size'. The variable len is assigned strlen(buf). If the content->type is
    XML_ELEMENT_CONTENT_ELEMENT, then (i) the content->prefix is appended to buf (if it actually fits)
    whereupon (ii) content->name is written to the buffer. However, the check for whether the content->name
    actually fits also uses 'len' rather than the updated buffer length strlen(buf). This allows us to write
    about size many bytes beyond the allocated memory. This vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2,
    such as PHP, to crash. (CVE-2017-9047)

  - libxml2 before 2.12.10 and 2.13.x before 2.13.6 has a stack-based buffer overflow in xmlSnprintfElements
    in valid.c. To exploit this, DTD validation must occur for an untrusted document or untrusted DTD. NOTE:
    this is similar to CVE-2017-9047. (CVE-2025-24928)

  - libxml2 before 2.12.10 and 2.13.x before 2.13.6 has a NULL pointer dereference in xmlPatMatch in
    pattern.c. (CVE-2025-27113)

  - 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)

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