    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2017-9233:
    XML External Entity vulnerability in libexpat 2.2.0 and earlier (Expat XML Parser Library) allows
    attackers to put the parser in an infinite loop using a malformed external entity definition from an
    external DTD.

    CVE-2016-9063:
    An integer overflow during the parsing of XML using the Expat library. This vulnerability affects Firefox
    < 50.

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
