"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-2023:0003 advisory.

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

      CVE-2022-40303:
      An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. When parsing a multi-gigabyte XML document with the
    XML_PARSE_HUGE parser option enabled, several integer counters can overflow. This results in an attempt to
    access an array at a negative 2GB offset, typically leading to a segmentation fault.

      CVE-2022-40304:
      An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. Certain invalid XML entity definitions can corrupt a
    hash table key, potentially leading to subsequent logic errors. In one case, a double-free can be
    provoked.

      CVE-2016-3709:
      Possible cross-site scripting vulnerability in libxml after commit 960f0e2.

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
