NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.02 : libxml2 Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2022-0104)

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has libxml2 packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • valid.c in libxml2 before 2.9.13 has a use-after-free of ID and IDREF attributes. (CVE-2022-23308)

  • In libxml2 before 2.9.14, several buffer handling functions in buf.c (xmlBuf*) and tree.c (xmlBuffer*) don’t check for integer overflows. This can result in out-of-bounds memory writes. Exploitation requires a victim to open a crafted, multi-gigabyte XML file. Other software using libxml2’s buffer functions, for example libxslt through 1.1.35, is affected as well. (CVE-2022-29824)

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