"According to its self-reported version number, the Tenable Nessus
application running on the remote host is 6.x prior to 6.8. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A buffer overflow condition exists in the Expat XML
    parser due to improper validation of user-supplied input
    when handling malformed input documents. An
    authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause
    a denial of service condition or the execution of
    arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0718)

  - A stored cross-site (XSS) scripting vulnerability exists
    that can be exploited by an authenticated, remote
    attacker that has user-level access to the Nessus user
    interface. (CVE-2016-1000028)

  - Multiple stored cross-site (XSS) scripting
    vulnerabilities exist that can be exploited by an
    authenticated, remote attacker that has
    administrative-level access to the Nessus user
    interface. These issues would only affect other users
    with administrative access. (CVE-2016-1000029)");
