  - An issue was discovered in ezXML 0.8.2 through 0.8.6. The function ezxml_str2utf8, while parsing a crafted
    XML file, performs zero-length reallocation in ezxml.c, leading to returning a NULL pointer (in some
    compilers). After this, the function ezxml_parse_str does not check whether the s variable is not NULL in
    ezxml.c, leading to a NULL pointer dereference and crash (segmentation fault). (CVE-2019-20007)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
