According to the version of the libxml2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  • A null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the xpath function of libxml2 when parsing invalid XPath expression. Applications processing untrusted XSL format inputs with the use of libxml2 library may be vulnerable to denial of service attack due to crash of the application.(CVE-2018-14404)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
