"The version of AIX installed on the remote host is prior to APAR IJ58122. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the IJ58122 advisory.
- A flaw was found in libxml2. This vulnerability occurs when the library processes a specially crafted XML
Schema Definition (XSD) validated document that includes an internal entity reference. An attacker could
exploit this by providing a malicious document, leading to a type confusion error that causes the
application to crash. This results in a denial of service (DoS), making the affected system or application
unavailable. (CVE-2026-6732)
- A flaw was identified in the RelaxNG parser of libxml2 related to how external schema inclusions are
handled. The parser does not enforce a limit on inclusion depth when resolving nested <include>
directives. Specially crafted or overly complex schemas can cause excessive recursion during parsing. This
may lead to stack exhaustion and application crashes, creating a denial-of-service risk. (CVE-2026-0989)
- A flaw was found in libxml2, an XML parsing library. This uncontrolled recursion vulnerability occurs in
the xmlCatalogXMLResolveURI function when an XML catalog contains a delegate URI entry that references
itself. A remote attacker could exploit this configuration-dependent issue by providing a specially
crafted XML catalog, leading to infinite recursion and call stack exhaustion. This ultimately results in a
segmentation fault, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing affected applications. (CVE-2026-0990)
- A flaw was found in the libxml2 library. This uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability occurs when
processing XML catalogs that contain repeated <nextCatalog> elements pointing to the same downstream
catalog. A remote attacker can exploit this by supplying crafted catalogs, causing the parser to
redundantly traverse catalog chains. This leads to excessive CPU consumption and degrades application
availability, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. (CVE-2026-0992)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
