The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 5.04, has expat packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  • libexpat before 2.4.9 has a use-after-free in the doContent function in xmlparse.c. (CVE-2022-40674)

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