CVE-2023-45322
CVE-2024-25062

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libxml2, a library providing
support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files, potentially allowing
an attacker to perform denial of service or trigger an use-after-free situation.

CVE-2016-9318 (Debian 8 update only)
XML External Entity (XXE) attacks via a crafted document.

Note: CVE-2016-9318 has been previously addressed for Debian 10 (buster) in ELA-1195.
CVE-2017-16932
When expanding a parameter entity in a DTD, infinite recursion could lead to
an infinite loop or memory exhaustion.

CVE-2023-39615
Xmlsoft Libxml2 v2.11.0 was discovered to contain an out-of-bounds read via
the xmlSAX2StartElement() function at /libxml2/SAX2.c. This vulnerability
allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted
XML file.

CVE-2023-45322
libxml2 through 2.11.5 has a use-after-free that can only occur after a
certain memory allocation fails. This occurs in xmlUnlinkNode in tree.c.

CVE-2024-25062
An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.11.7 and 2.12.x before 2.12.5.
When using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude
expansion enabled, processing crafted XML documents can lead to an
xmlValidatePopElement use-after-free.
