The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has libxml2 packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • xmlStringLenDecodeEntities in parser.c in libxml2 2.9.10 has an infinite loop in a certain end-of-file situation. (CVE-2020-7595)

  • xmlParseBalancedChunkMemoryRecover in parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.10 has a memory leak related to newDoc->oldNs. (CVE-2019-19956)

  • xmlSchemaPreRun in xmlschemas.c in libxml2 2.9.10 allows an xmlSchemaValidateStream memory leak.
    (CVE-2019-20388)

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