"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2012-1005:03 advisory.

    PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system (DBMS) that supports almost all SQL
    constructs (including transactions, subselects and user-defined types and functions). The postgresql
    package includes the client programs and libraries that you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS server.
    These PostgreSQL client programs are programs that directly manipulate the internal structure of
    PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server. These client programs can be located on the same machine with
    the PostgreSQL server, or may be on a remote machine which accesses a PostgreSQL server over a network
    connection. This package contains the docs in HTML for the whole package, as well as command-line
    utilities for managing PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server.
    If you want to manipulate a PostgreSQL database on a local or remote PostgreSQL server, you need this
    package. You also need to install this package if you're installing the postgresql-server package.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2012-3488
    The libxslt support in contrib/xml2 in PostgreSQL 8.3 before 8.3.20, 8.4 before 8.4.13, 9.0 before 9.0.9,
    and 9.1 before 9.1.5 does not properly restrict access to files and URLs, which allows remote
    authenticated users to modify data, obtain sensitive information, or trigger outbound traffic to arbitrary
    external hosts by leveraging (1) stylesheet commands that are permitted by the libxslt security options or
    (2) an xslt_process feature, related to an XML External Entity (aka XXE) issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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