Security Advisory Description

Xmlsoft Libxml2 v2.11.0 was discovered to contain an out-of-bounds read via the xmlSAX2StartElement() function at /libxml2/SAX2.c. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted XML file. NOTE: the vendor’s position is that the product does not support the legacy SAX1 interface with custom callbacks; there is a crash even without crafted input. (CVE-2023-39615)

Impact

This vulnerability may allow attackers to supply a crafted XML file causing a denial-of-service (DoS).
