The version of expat installed on the remote host is prior to 2.1.0-12.25. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1569 advisory.

  • Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.4 has a signed integer overflow in XML_GetBuffer, for configurations with a nonzero XML_CONTEXT_BYTES. (CVE-2022-23852)

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