CVE-2017-16931

CVE-2017-16931 affects libxml2 (parser.c) prior to version 2.9.5, where parameter-entity references are mishandled: the NEXTL macro calls xmlParserHandlePEReference for a '%' in a DTD name, enabling a buffer overflow and potential remote code execution. The connected details confirm the vulnerabl...

CVE-2017-9047

CVE-2017-9047: libxml2 contains a stack-based buffer overflow in xmlSnprintfElementContent (valid.c) when dumping element content definitions; the check uses the pre-update length, allowing writes beyond the buffer and potentially crashing programs (e.g., PHP). The provided documents describe the...

CVE-2017-16932

CVE-2017-16932 affects the libxml2 parser: in versions before 2.9.5, expanding a parameter entity in a DTD can result in infinite recursion, potentially leading to a denial of service or memory exhaustion. Affected component is the libxml2 XML C parser. Connected sources corroborate the issue and...

CVE-2017-9050

CVE-2017-9050 affects libxml2 (notably 2.9.4 builds such as 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801). Root cause: a heap-based buffer over-read in dict.c:xmlDictAddString, stemming from an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-1839. Impact: can cause a crash in applications using libxml2 (e.g., PHP). Public details in...

CVE-2017-8872

CVE-2017-8872 affects libxml2 and is a buffer-over-read/overflow in htmlParseTryOrFinish() in HTMLparser.c. It can allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service or information disclosure. Affected context appears in multiple IBM security bulletins for libxml2-enabled devices (e.g., IBM Blad...

CVE-2016-4483

CVE-2016-4483 is a libxml2 serialization bug: xmlBufAttrSerializeTxtContent can trigger an out-of-bounds read when a non-UTF-8 attribute value is serialized, leading to a denial of service. Connected records note related follow-ons: CVE-2016-9598 (and CVE-2016-9596) describe DoS/out-of-bounds sce...

CVE-2017-5969

CVE-2017-5969 affects libxml2: a NULL pointer dereference in xmlSaveDoc when libxml2 is used in recover mode, enabling DoS via a crafted XML document. Connected IBM advisories confirm libxml2 is vulnerable in multiple IBM products (CMM, IMM2, Chassis/Streams/Cognos) and specify remediation via fi...

CVE-2017-9049

CVE-2017-9049 affects libxml2 prior to a fix released after 2.9.4. It describes a heap-based buffer over-read in xmlDictComputeFastKey within dict.c, which can cause programs using libxml2 (e.g., PHP) to crash. The vulnerability arises from an incomplete fix (Bug 759398). Public references show t...

CVE-2017-9048

CVE-2017-9048 affects libxml2. The vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in the function xmlSnprintfElementContent (valid.c): when recursively dumping element content, the code may strcat two characters after computing the current length without ensuring the buffer has space, allowing a ...
