According to its self-reported version, the Tenable Nessus application running on the remote host is 8.x prior to 8.15.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in third-party libraries, including:

  • An integer overflow in storeRawNames in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5. (CVE-2022-25315)

  • Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.4 has an integer overflow in the doProlog function. (CVE-2022-23990)

  • Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.4 has a signed integer overflow in XML_GetBuffer, for configurations with a nonzero XML_CONTEXT_BYTES. (CVE-2022-23852)

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