The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:3299 advisory.

The libxml2 library is a development toolbox providing the implementation of     various XML standards.

Security Fix(es):

* libxml2: use-after-free in XMLReader (CVE-2024-25062)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS     score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References     section.

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.
