The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3783 advisory.

  • libexpat through 2.5.0 allows a denial of service (resource consumption) because many full reparsings are required in the case of a large token for which multiple buffer fills are needed. (CVE-2023-52425)

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