"According to the versions of the libxml2 packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host
is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    A flaw was identified in the interactive shell of the xmllint utility, part of the libxml2 project, where
    memory allocated for user input is not properly released under certain conditions. When a user submits
    input consisting only of whitespace, the program skips command execution but fails to free the allocated
    buffer. Repeating this action causes memory to continuously accumulate. Over time, this can exhaust system
    memory and terminate the xmllint process, creating a denial-of-service condition on the local
    system.(CVE-2026-1757)

    A flaw was found in the libxml2 library. This uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability occurs when
    processing XML catalogs that contain repeated nextCatalog elements pointing to the same downstream
    catalog. A remote attacker can exploit this by supplying crafted catalogs, causing the parser to
    redundantly traverse catalog chains. This leads to excessive CPU consumption and degrades application
    availability, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.(CVE-2026-0992)

    A flaw was found in libxml2, an XML parsing library. This uncontrolled recursion vulnerability occurs in
    the xmlCatalogXMLResolveURI function when an XML catalog contains a delegate URI entry that references
    itself. A remote attacker could exploit this configuration-dependent issue by providing a specially
    crafted XML catalog, leading to infinite recursion and call stack exhaustion. This ultimately results in a
    segmentation fault, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing affected applications.(CVE-2026-0990)

    A flaw was identified in the RelaxNG parser of libxml2 related to how external schema inclusions are
    handled. The parser does not enforce a limit on inclusion depth when resolving nested include
    directives. Specially crafted or overly complex schemas can cause excessive recursion during parsing. This
    may lead to stack exhaustion and application crashes, creating a denial-of-service risk.(CVE-2026-0989)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization libxml2 security
advisory.

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