"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2022:0042 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2018-20843:
    In libexpat in Expat before 2.2.7, XML input including XML names that contain a large number of colons
    could make the XML parser consume a high amount of RAM and CPU resources while processing (enough to be
    usable for denial-of-service attacks).

    CVE-2019-15903:
    In libexpat before 2.2.8, crafted XML input could fool the parser into changing from DTD parsing to
    document parsing too early; a consecutive call to XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber)
    then resulted in a heap-based buffer over-read.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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