The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - expat: Large number of prefixed XML attributes on a single tag can crash libexpat (CVE-2021-45960)

  - expat: Integer overflow in function XML_GetBuffer (CVE-2022-23852)
