The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 13.x prior to 13.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
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 operating system’s self-reported version number.
