The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has libxml2 packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - xmlParseBalancedChunkMemoryRecover in parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.10 has a memory leak related to     newDoc->oldNs. (CVE-2019-19956)

  - xmlSchemaPreRun in xmlschemas.c in libxml2 2.9.10 allows an xmlSchemaValidateStream memory leak.
    (CVE-2019-20388)

  - xmlStringLenDecodeEntities in parser.c in libxml2 2.9.10 has an infinite loop in a certain end-of-file     situation. (CVE-2020-7595)

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

An update of the libxml2 package has been released.

Several security vulnerabilities were corrected in libxml2, the GNOME XML library.

CVE-2017-8872

Global buffer-overflow in the htmlParseTryOrFinish function.

CVE-2017-18258

The xz_head function in libxml2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted LZMA file, because the decoder functionality does not restrict memory usage to what is required for a legitimate file.

CVE-2018-14404

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the xpath.c:xmlXPathCompOpEval() function of libxml2 when parsing an invalid XPath expression in the XPATH_OP_AND or XPATH_OP_OR case.
Applications processing untrusted XSL format inputs may be vulnerable to a denial of service attack.

CVE-2018-14567

If the option --with-lzma is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted XML file.

CVE-2019-19956

The xmlParseBalancedChunkMemoryRecover function has a memory leak related to newDoc->oldNs.

CVE-2019-20388

A memory leak was found in the xmlSchemaValidateStream function of libxml2. Applications that use this library may be vulnerable to memory not being freed leading to a denial of service.

CVE-2020-7595

Infinite loop in xmlStringLenDecodeEntities can cause a denial of service.

CVE-2020-24977

Out-of-bounds read restricted to xmllint --htmlout.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.4+dfsg1-2.2+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2020:4479 advisory.

  - xmlParseBalancedChunkMemoryRecover in parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.10 has a memory leak related to     newDoc->oldNs. (CVE-2019-19956)

  - xmlSchemaPreRun in xmlschemas.c in libxml2 2.9.10 allows an xmlSchemaValidateStream memory leak.
    (CVE-2019-20388)

  - xmlStringLenDecodeEntities in parser.c in libxml2 2.9.10 has an infinite loop in a certain end-of-file     situation. (CVE-2020-7595)

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

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.19.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.19.1 advisory.

  - In Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.46, several cryptographic primitives had missing length     checks. In cases where the application calling the library did not perform a sanity check on the inputs it     could result in a crash due to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17006)

  - Heap buffer overflow in the TFTP protocol handler in cURL 7.19.4 to 7.65.3. (CVE-2019-5482)

  - In all versions of cpio before 2.13 does not properly validate input files when generating TAR archives.
    When cpio is used to create TAR archives from paths an attacker can write to, the resulting archive may     contain files with permissions the attacker did not have or in paths he did not have access to. Extracting     those archives from a high-privilege user without carefully reviewing them may lead to the compromise of     the system. (CVE-2019-14866)

  - If an HTTP/2 client connecting to Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M7, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.37 or 8.5.0 to     8.5.57 exceeded the agreed maximum number of concurrent streams for a connection (in violation of the     HTTP/2 protocol), it was possible that a subsequent request made on that connection could contain HTTP     headers - including HTTP/2 pseudo headers - from a previous request rather than the intended headers. This     could lead to users seeing responses for unexpected resources. (CVE-2020-13943)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Optimizer). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.6.45 and prior, 5.7.27 and prior and 8.0.17 and prior. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang     or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2019-2974)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4991-1 advisory.

    Yunho Kim discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled certain error conditions. A remote attacker could     exploit this with a crafted XML file to cause a denial of service, or possibly cause libxml2 to expose     sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2017-8872)

    Zhipeng Xie discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled certain XML schemas. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu     16.04 ESM, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-20388)

    It was discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled invalid UTF-8 input. A remote attacker could possibly     exploit this with a crafted XML file to cause libxml2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This     issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu     20.10. (CVE-2020-24977)

    It was discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled invalid UTF-8 input. A remote attacker could possibly     exploit this with a crafted XML file to cause libxml2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-3517)

    It was discovered that libxml2 did not properly handle certain crafted XML files. A local attacker could     exploit this with a crafted input to cause libxml2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3516, CVE-2021-3518)

    It was discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled error states. A remote attacker could exploit this with     a crafted XML file to cause libxml2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-3537)

    Sebastian Pipping discovered that libxml2 did not properly handle certain crafted XML files. A remote     attacker could exploit this with a crafted XML file to cause libxml2 to crash, resulting in a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.10, and Ubuntu 21.04. (CVE-2021-3541)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
