"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0845 advisory.

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

    CVE-2025-61912:
    python-ldap is a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) client API for Python. In versions prior to
    3.4.5, ldap.dn.escape_dn_chars() escapes \x00 incorrectly by emitting a backslash followed by a literal
    NUL byte instead of the RFC-4514 hex form \00. Any application that uses this helper to construct DNs from
    untrusted input can be made to consistently fail before a request is sent to the LDAP server (e.g., AD),
    resulting in a client-side denial of service. Version 3.4.5 contains a patch for the issue.

    CVE-2025-61911:
    python-ldap is a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) client API for Python. In versions prior to
    3.4.5, the sanitization method `ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars` can be tricked to skip escaping of
    special characters when a crafted `list` or `dict` is supplied as the `assertion_value` parameter, and the
    non-default `escape_mode=1` is configured. The method `ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars` supports 3
    different escaping modes. `escape_mode=0` (default) and `escape_mode=2` happen to raise exceptions when a
    `list` or `dict` object is supplied as the `assertion_value` parameter. However, `escape_mode=1` computes
    without performing adequate logic to ensure a fully escaped return value. If an application relies on the
    vulnerable method in the `python-ldap` library to escape untrusted user input, an attacker might be able
    to abuse the vulnerability to launch ldap injection attacks which could potentially disclose or manipulate
    ldap data meant to be inaccessible to them. Version 3.4.5 fixes the issue by adding a type check at the
    start of the `ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars` method to raise an exception when the supplied
    `assertion_value` parameter is not of type `str`.

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.");
