"The version of libxml2 installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-6170 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the interactive shell of the xmllint command-line tool, used for parsing XML files.
    When a user inputs an overly long command, the program does not check the input size properly, which can
    cause it to crash. This issue might allow attackers to run harmful code in rare configurations without
    modern protections. (CVE-2025-6170)

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