"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2024:8859 advisory.

    XML-RPC is a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol that uses XML to encode its calls and HTTP as a
    transport mechanism. The xmlrpc-c packages provide a network protocol to allow a client program to make a
    simple RPC (remote procedure call) over the Internet. It converts an RPC into an XML document, sends it to
    a remote server using HTTP, and gets back the response in XML.

    Security Fix(es):

    * libexpat: Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CVE-2024-45491)

    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.
