"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-2026:1213 advisory.

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

    CVE-2026-74860:
    A flaw was found in libxml2 with Python bindings enabled. A remote attacker could exploit this
    vulnerability by providing a specially crafted XML document containing a Document Type Definition (DTD)
    with enumerated attribute values. This triggers a double-free error in the SAX attributeDecl callback
    handler, where a string is freed twice. This flaw can lead to a denial of service (DoS) due to a
    reproducible crash in Python applications using the libxml2 SAX bindings.

    CVE-2026-86138:
    In libxml2 before 2.15.4, xmlDictAddQString in dict.c has an integer overflow and resultant heap-based
    buffer overflow.

    CVE-2026-86140:
    In libxml2 before 2.15.4, xmlSnprintfElements in valid.c has a strcat stack-based buffer overflow.

    CVE-2026-86143:
    In xmlIO in libxml2 before 2.15.4, an inconsistency in xmlOutputWriteCallback and xmlBufUse causes
    negative lengths to reach write callbacks, aka a lack of a check for integer overflow before calling
    writecallback. This has security relevance for many types of uses of that length value within a callback.

    CVE-2026-86144:
    In xinclude in libxml2 before 2.15.4, xmlXIncludeProcess and xmlXIncludeProcessTree do not propagate
    parseFlags. This has security relevance for, for example, the XML_PARSE_NONET flag, if (without it) a
    custom resource loader accesses the internet and triggers XML external entity injection, SSRF, or a denial
    of service (e.g., for an attacker-controlled internet resource that is intentionally slow).

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.");
