"The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
RLSA-2022:8226 advisory.
- NULL Pointer Dereference allows attackers to cause a denial of service (or application crash). This only
applies when lxml is used together with libxml2 2.9.10 through 2.9.14. libxml2 2.9.9 and earlier are not
affected. It allows triggering crashes through forged input data, given a vulnerable code sequence in the
application. The vulnerability is caused by the iterwalk function (also used by the canonicalize
function). Such code shouldn't be in wide-spread use, given that parsing + iterwalk would usually be
replaced with the more efficient iterparse function. However, an XML converter that serialises to C14N
would also be vulnerable, for example, and there are legitimate use cases for this code sequence. If
untrusted input is received (also remotely) and processed via iterwalk function, a crash can be triggered.
