"The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20230302.102005. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20230302.103100 advisory.
- A flaw was found in libssh versions built with OpenSSL versions older than 3.0, specifically in the
ssh_kdf() function responsible for key derivation. Due to inconsistent interpretation of return values
where OpenSSL uses 0 to indicate failure and libssh uses 0 for successthe function may mistakenly return
a success status even when key derivation fails. This results in uninitialized cryptographic key buffers
being used in subsequent communication, potentially compromising SSH sessions' confidentiality, integrity,
and availability. (CVE-2025-5372)
- libexpat in Expat before 2.7.2 allows attackers to trigger large dynamic memory allocations via a small
document that is submitted for parsing. (CVE-2025-59375)
- Under certain circumstances, BIND is too lenient when accepting records from answers, allowing an attacker
to inject forged data into the cache. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0
through 9.18.39, 9.20.0 through 9.20.13, 9.21.0 through 9.21.12, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1
through 9.18.39-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.13-S1. (CVE-2025-40778)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
