therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0466 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-23807:
    The Apache Xerces C++ XML parser on versions 3.0.0 before 3.2.5 contains a use-after-free error triggered
    during the scanning of external DTDs.

    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.5 which fixes the issue, or mitigate the issue by
    disabling DTD processing. This can be accomplished via the DOM using a standard parser feature, or via SAX
    using the XERCES_DISABLE_DTD environment variable.

    This issue has been disclosed before as CVE-2018-1311, but unfortunately that advisory incorrectly stated
    the issue would be fixed in version 3.2.3 or 3.2.4.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent 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.");
