Description

## Summary libxml2 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, denial of service and a buffer overflow ## Vulnerability Details **CVEID:** [CVE-2015-8242](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2015-8242>)** DESCRIPTION:** libxml2 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the HTML parser in push mode in xmlSAX2TextNode. By using a malformed XML file, a local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash. CVSS Base Score: 5.9 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/108170> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) **CVEID:** [CVE-2015-7942](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2015-7942>)** DESCRIPTION:** Libxml2 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a heap-based buffer overflow in the xmlParseConditionalSections function. By using a specially-crafted XML data, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger an out-of-bounds read and cause the system to crash. CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/108073> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) **CVEID:** [CVE-2015-8241](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2015-8241>)** DESCRIPTION:** libxml2 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the XML parser in xmlNextChar. By using a malformed XML file, a local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
