"The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5142
advisory.
- In libxml2 before 2.9.14, several buffer handling functions in buf.c (xmlBuf*) and tree.c (xmlBuffer*)
don't check for integer overflows. This can result in out-of-bounds memory writes. Exploitation requires a
victim to open a crafted, multi-gigabyte XML file. Other software using libxml2's buffer functions, for
example libxslt through 1.1.35, is affected as well. (CVE-2022-29824)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
