The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2705 advisory.
An issue was discovered in libezxml.a in ezXML 0.8.6. The function ezxml_internal_dtd(), while parsing a crafted XML file, performs incorrect memory handling, leading to a NULL pointer dereference while running strcmp() on a NULL pointer. (CVE-2021-30485)
An issue was discovered in libezxml.a in ezXML 0.8.6. The function ezxml_internal_dtd() performs incorrect memory handling while parsing crafted XML files, which leads to an out-of-bounds write of a one byte constant. (CVE-2021-31229)
An issue was discovered in libezxml.a in ezXML 0.8.6. The function ezxml_parse_str() performs incorrect memory handling while parsing crafted XML files (writing outside a memory region created by mmap).
(CVE-2021-31347)
An issue was discovered in libezxml.a in ezXML 0.8.6. The function ezxml_parse_str() performs incorrect memory handling while parsing crafted XML files (out-of-bounds read after a certain strcspn failure).
(CVE-2021-31348)
An issue was discovered in libezxml.a in ezXML 0.8.6. The function ezxml_decode() performs incorrect memory handling while parsing crafted XML files, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2021-31598)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
