"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2023:0008 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2022-40303:
    An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. When parsing a multi-gigabyte XML document with the
    XML_PARSE_HUGE parser option enabled, several integer counters can overflow. This results in an attempt to
    access an array at a negative 2GB offset, typically leading to a segmentation fault.

    CVE-2022-40304:
    An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. Certain invalid XML entity definitions can corrupt a
    hash table key, potentially leading to subsequent logic errors. In one case, a double-free can be
    provoked.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

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