    xmlParseBalancedChunkMemoryRecover in parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.10 has a memory leak related to
    newDoc->oldNs.

    xmlSchemaPreRun in xmlschemas.c in libxml2 2.9.10 allows an xmlSchemaValidateStream memory leak.

    CVE-2020-24977:
    GNOME project libxml2 v2.9.10 has a global buffer over-read vulnerability in xmlEncodeEntitiesInternal at
    libxml2/entities.c. The issue has been fixed in commit 50f06b3e.

    CVE-2020-7595:
    xmlStringLenDecodeEntities in parser.c in libxml2 2.9.10 has an infinite loop in a certain end-of-file
    situation.

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

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