The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3172 advisory.

  • 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-2022-40303)

  • 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. (CVE-2022-40304)

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