"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-2025:0968 advisory.
Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2025-13837:
When loading a plist file, the plistlib module reads data in size specified by the file itself, meaning a
malicious file can cause OOM and DoS issues
CVE-2025-13836:
When reading an HTTP response from a server, if no read amount is specified, the default behavior will be
to use Content-Length. This allows a malicious server to cause the client to read large amounts of data
into memory, potentially causing OOM or other DoS.
CVE-2025-12084:
When building nested elements using xml.dom.minidom methods such as appendChild() that have a dependency
on _clear_id_cache() the algorithm is quadratic. Availability can be impacted when building excessively
nested documents.
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.");
