"The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the python-
lxml-4.6.5-3.el9 build changelog.

  - NULL Pointer Dereference allows attackers to cause a denial of service (or application crash). This only
    applies when lxml is used together with libxml2 2.9.10 through 2.9.14. libxml2 2.9.9 and earlier are not
    affected. It allows triggering crashes through forged input data, given a vulnerable code sequence in the
    application. The vulnerability is caused by the iterwalk function (also used by the canonicalize
    function). Such code shouldn't be in wide-spread use, given that parsing + iterwalk would usually be
    replaced with the more efficient iterparse function. However, an XML converter that serialises to C14N
    would also be vulnerable, for example, and there are legitimate use cases for this code sequence. If
    untrusted input is received (also remotely) and processed via iterwalk function, a crash can be triggered.
    (CVE-2022-2309)

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