"According to the versions of the libxml2 packages installed, the
EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following
vulnerabilities :
- This library allows to manipulate XML files. It
includes supportto read, modify and write XML and HTML
files. There is DTDs supportthis includes parsing and
validation even with complex DtDs, eitherat parse time
or later once the document has been modified. The
outputcan be a simple SAX stream or an(CVE-2021-3541)
- There's a flaw in libxml2's xmllint. An attacker who is
able to submit a crafted file to be processed by
xmllint could trigger a use-after-free. The greatest
impact of this flaw is to confidentiality, integrity,
and availability.(CVE-2021-3516)
- There is a flaw in the xml entity encoding
functionality of libxml2. An attacker who is able to
supply a crafted file to be processed by an application
linked with the affected functionality of libxml2 could
trigger an out-of-bounds read. The most likely impact
of this flaw is to application availability, with some
potential impact to confidentiality and integrity if an
attacker is able to use memory information to further
exploit the application.(CVE-2021-3517)
- There's a flaw in libxml2 in versions before 2.9.11. An
attacker who is able to submit a crafted file to be
processed by an application linked with libxml2 could
trigger a use-after-free. The greatest impact from this
flaw is to confidentiality, integrity, and
availability.(CVE-2021-3518)
- A vulnerability found in libxml2 in versions before
2.9.11 shows that it did not propagate errors while
parsing XML mixed content, causing a NULL dereference.
If an untrusted XML document was parsed in recovery
mode and post-validated, the flaw could be used to
crash the application. The highest threat from this
vulnerability is to system availability.(CVE-2021-3537)
