The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has libxml2 packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
A Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in libxml2. A specially crafted input, when serialized and re-parsed by the libxml2 library, will result in a document with element attributes that did not exist in the original document. (CVE-2016-3709)
A flaw was found in libxml2. Parsing a XML document with the XML_PARSE_HUGE option enabled can result in an integer overflow because safety checks were missing in some functions. Also, the xmlParseEntityValue function didn’t have any length limitation. (CVE-2022-40303)
A flaw was found in libxml2. When a reference cycle is detected in the XML entity cleanup function the XML entity data can be stored in a dictionary. In this case, the dictionary becomes corrupted resulting in logic errors, including memory errors like double free. (CVE-2022-40304)
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in libxml2. This issue occurs when parsing (invalid) XML schemas. (CVE-2023-28484)
A flaw was found in libxml2. This issue occurs when hashing empty strings which aren’t null-terminated, xmlDictComputeFastKey could produce inconsistent results, which may lead to various logic or memory errors, including double free errors. (CVE-2023-29469)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
