"According to its self-reported version, the Tenable Nessus application running on the remote host is 10.8.0 prior or
equal to 10.8.6, 10.9.0 prior to 10.9.6, 10.10.0 prior or equal to 10.10.1 and 10.11.0 prior to 10.11.1. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2025-24 advisory.
- xsltGetInheritedNsList in libxslt before 1.1.43 has a use-after-free issue related to exclusion of result
prefixes. (CVE-2024-55549)
- A use-after-free vulnerability was found in libxml2. This issue occurs when parsing XPath elements under
certain circumstances when the XML schematron has the <sch:name path=.../> schema elements. This flaw
allows a malicious actor to craft a malicious XML document used as input for libxml, resulting in the
program's crash using libxml or other possible undefined behaviors. (CVE-2025-49794)
- A vulnerability was found in libxml2. Processing certain sch:name elements from the input XML file can
trigger a memory corruption issue. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious XML input file that
can lead libxml to crash, resulting in a denial of service or other possible undefined behavior due to
sensitive data being corrupted in memory. (CVE-2025-49796)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
