"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2017:0936 advisory.

    The defusedxml package contains several Python-only updates for security vulnerabilities in Python's XML
    libraries. Defusedxml functions and classes can be used instead of the originals to protect against
    entity-expansion and DTD-retrieval issues.

    PySAML2 is the python implementation of SAML Version 2, containing all the functionality for building a
    SAML2 service provider or an identity provider, to be used in a WSGI environment.

    Security Fix(es):

    * An XML entity expansion vulnerability was found in python-pysaml2. A remote attacker could send a
    crafted request which would cause denial of service through resource exhaustion. (CVE-2016-10149)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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