"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2025:1745585192 advisory.

  - REXML is an XML toolkit for Ruby. The REXML gem before 3.3.9 has a ReDoS vulnerability when it parses an
    XML that has many digits between &# and x...; in a hex numeric character reference (&#x...;). This does
    not happen with Ruby 3.2 or later. Ruby 3.1 is the only affected maintained Ruby. The REXML gem 3.3.9 or
    later include the patch to fix the vulnerability. (CVE-2024-49761)

  - In the CGI gem before 0.4.2 for Ruby, the CGI::Cookie.parse method in the CGI library contains a potential
    Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability. The method does not impose any limit on the length of the raw
    cookie value it processes. This oversight can lead to excessive resource consumption when parsing
    extremely large cookies. (CVE-2025-27219)

  - In the CGI gem before 0.4.2 for Ruby, a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability exists
    in the Util#escapeElement method. (CVE-2025-27220)

  - In the URI gem before 1.0.3 for Ruby, the URI handling methods (URI.join, URI#merge, URI#+) have an
    inadvertent leakage of authentication credentials because userinfo is retained even after changing the
    host. (CVE-2025-27221)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
