    * CVE-2025-7425: fix heap-use-after-free in xmlFreeID caused by 'atype'
    corruption
    * CVE-2025-6021: fix integer overflows in buffer size calculations
    CVE(s):
    CVE-2025-6021
    A flaw was found in libxml2's xmlBuildQName function, where integer overflows in buffer size calculations
    can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. This issue can result in memory corruption or a denial of
    service when processing crafted input.
    CVE-2025-7425
    A flaw was found in libxslt where the attribute type, atype, flags are modified in a way that corrupts
    internal memory management. When XSLT functions, such as the key() process, result in tree fragments, this
    corruption prevents the proper cleanup of ID attributes. As a result, the system may access freed memory,
    causing crashes or enabling attackers to trigger heap corruption.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
