Descriptions

An integer overflow in xmlmemory.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5, as used in Google Chrome prior to 62.0.3202.62 and other products, allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted XML file.

Un desbordamiento de enteros en xmlmemory.c en versiones anteriores a la 2.9.5 de libxml2, tal y como se emplea en Google Chrome, en versiones anteriores a la 62.0.3202.62 y en otros productos, permite que un atacante remoto explote la corrupción de la memoria dinámica (heap) mediante un archivo XML manipulado.

A heap overflow flaw was found in the libxml2 library. An application compiled with libxml2 using the vulnerable debug-only function xmlMemoryStrdup could be used by an attacker to crash the application or execute arbitrary code with the permission of the user running the application.
