"The version of AIX installed on the remote host is prior to APAR IJ57276. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the IJ57276 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in libxml2 up to 2.14.5. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability
    affects the function xmlParseSGMLCatalog of the component xmlcatalog. The manipulation leads to
    uncontrolled recursion. Attacking locally is a requirement. The exploit has been disclosed to the public
    and may be used. The real existence of this vulnerability is still doubted at the moment. The code
    maintainer explains, that [t]he issue can only be triggered with untrusted SGML catalogs and it makes
    absolutely no sense to use untrusted catalogs. I also doubt that anyone is still using SGML catalogs at
    all. (CVE-2025-8732)

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