The version of libxslt installed on the remote host is prior to 1.1.28-6.15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1463 advisory.

  • libxslt through 1.1.33 allows bypass of a protection mechanism because callers of xsltCheckRead and xsltCheckWrite permit access even upon receiving a -1 error code. xsltCheckRead can return -1 for a crafted URL that is not actually invalid and is subsequently loaded. (CVE-2019-11068)

  • In xsltCopyText in transform.c in libxslt 1.1.33, a pointer variable isn’t reset under certain circumstances. If the relevant memory area happened to be freed and reused in a certain way, a bounds check could fail and memory outside a buffer could be written to, or uninitialized data could be disclosed. (CVE-2019-18197)

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