According to the version of the libidn package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - The stringprep_utf8_to_ucs4 function in libin before 1.31, as used in jabberd2, allows context-dependent attackers to read system memory and possibly have other unspecified impact via invalid UTF-8 characters in a string, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.(CVE-2015-2059)
