In libxml2 before 2.13.8 and 2.14.x before 2.14.2, out-of-bounds memory access can occur in the Python API (Python bindings) because of an incorrect return value. This occurs in xmlPythonFileRead and xmlPythonFileReadRaw because of a difference between bytes and characters.

Libxml2 Python API has out-of-bounds memory access due to an incorrect return value in file read functions from bytes versus characters.
