    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-32414 CVE-2025-32415


    Two issues have been found in libxml2, the GNOME XML library.
    Thy are related to an out-of-bounds memory access in the Python API and a
    heap-buffer-overflow in xmlSchemaIDCFillNodeTables().



    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    2.9.10+dfsg-6.7+deb11u7.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.

    For the detailed security status of libxml2 please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libxml2
