The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CESA-2020:3996 advisory.
libxml2: memory leak in xmlParseBalancedChunkMemoryRecover in parser.c (CVE-2019-19956)
libxml2: memory leak in xmlSchemaPreRun in xmlschemas.c (CVE-2019-20388)
libxml2: infinite loop in xmlStringLenDecodeEntities in some end-of-file situations (CVE-2020-7595)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
