"The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
ELSA-2021-2569 advisory.

  - There's a flaw in libxml2's xmllint in versions before 2.9.11. An attacker who is able to submit a crafted
    file to be processed by xmllint could trigger a use-after-free. The greatest impact of this flaw is to
    confidentiality, integrity, and availability. (CVE-2021-3516)

  - There's a flaw in libxml2 in versions before 2.9.11. An attacker who is able to submit a crafted file to
    be processed by an application linked with libxml2 could trigger a use-after-free. The greatest impact
    from this flaw is to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. (CVE-2021-3518)

  - A vulnerability found in libxml2 in versions before 2.9.11 shows that it did not propagate errors while
    parsing XML mixed content, causing a NULL dereference. If an untrusted XML document was parsed in recovery
    mode and post-validated, the flaw could be used to crash the application. The highest threat from this
    vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3537)

  - There is a flaw in the xml entity encoding functionality of libxml2 in versions before 2.9.11. An attacker
    who is able to supply a crafted file to be processed by an application linked with the affected
    functionality of libxml2 could trigger an out-of-bounds read. The most likely impact of this flaw is to
    application availability, with some potential impact to confidentiality and integrity if an attacker is
    able to use memory information to further exploit the application. (CVE-2021-3517)

  - libxml2: Exponential entity expansion attack bypasses all existing protection mechanisms (CVE-2021-3541)

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