This update for libxml2 fixes the following security issues:

  • CVE-2018-9251: The xz_decomp function allowed remote attackers to cause
    a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted XML file that triggers
    LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR, as demonstrated by xmllint (bsc#1088279).
  • CVE-2018-14567: Prevent denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted
    XML file that triggers LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR, as demonstrated by xmllint
    (bsc#1105166).
  • CVE-2018-14404: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in the
    xmlXPathCompOpEval() function when parsing an invalid XPath expression
    in the XPATH_OP_AND or XPATH_OP_OR case leading to a denial of service
    attack (bsc#1102046).
  • CVE-2017-18258: The xz_head function allowed remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted LZMA file, because
    the decoder functionality did not restrict memory usage to what is
    required for a legitimate file (bsc#1088601).
