The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20220304.10013. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20220304.10013 advisory.

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5, there is an integer overflow in storeRawNames. (CVE-2022-25315)

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, a left shift by 29 (or more) places in the storeAtts function in     xmlparse.c can lead to realloc misbehavior (e.g., allocating too few bytes, or only freeing memory).
    (CVE-2021-45960)

  - An arbitrary file write vulnerability was found in GNU gzip's zgrep utility. When zgrep is applied on the     attacker's chosen file name (for example, a crafted file name), this can overwrite an attacker's content     to an arbitrary attacker-selected file. This flaw occurs due to insufficient validation when processing     filenames with two or more newlines where selected content and the target file names are embedded in     crafted multi-line file names. This flaw allows a remote, low privileged attacker to force zgrep to write     arbitrary files on the system. (CVE-2022-1271)

  - http.client in Python 3.x before 3.5.10, 3.6.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x before 3.7.9, and 3.8.x before 3.8.5     allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as demonstrated by inserting CR     and LF control characters in the first argument of HTTPConnection.request. (CVE-2020-26116)

  - urllib3 before 1.25.9 allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as     demonstrated by inserting CR and LF control characters in the first argument of putrequest(). NOTE: this     is similar to CVE-2020-26116. (CVE-2020-26137)

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