"The version of libxml2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.9.1-6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1677 advisory.

  - There's a flaw in libxml2's xmllint in versions before 2.9.11. An attacker who is able to submit a crafted
    file to be processed by xmllint could trigger a use-after-free. The greatest impact of this flaw is to
    confidentiality, integrity, and availability. (CVE-2021-3516)

  - There's a flaw in libxml2 in versions before 2.9.11. An attacker who is able to submit a crafted file to
    be processed by an application linked with libxml2 could trigger a use-after-free. The greatest impact
    from this flaw is to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. (CVE-2021-3518)

  - A vulnerability found in libxml2 in versions before 2.9.11 shows that it did not propagate errors while
    parsing XML mixed content, causing a NULL dereference. If an untrusted XML document was parsed in recovery
    mode and post-validated, the flaw could be used to crash the application. The highest threat from this
    vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3537)

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