"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the USN-6658-2 advisory.

    USN-6658-1 fixed a vulnerability in libxml2. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu
    14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

    Original advisory details:

    It was discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled certain XML documents. A

    remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libxml2 to crash,

    resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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