Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2025-32414:
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.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
