    * CVE-2025-49796: fix memory corruption issue triggered by processing sch:name
    elements in input XML file
    CVE(s):
    CVE-2025-49794
    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in libxml2. This issue occurs when parsing XPath elements under
    certain circumstances when the XML schematron has the  schema elements. This flaw allows a malicious actor
    to craft a malicious XML document used as input for libxml, resulting in the program's crash using libxml
    or other possible undefined behaviors.
    CVE-2025-49796
    A vulnerability was found in libxml2. Processing certain sch:name elements from the input XML file can
    trigger a memory corruption issue. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious XML input file that
    can lead libxml to crash, resulting in a denial of service or other possible undefined behavior due to
    sensitive data being corrupted in memory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
