Descriptions
In libxml2 before 2.9.14, several buffer handling functions in buf.c (xmlBuf*) and tree.c (xmlBuffer*) don't check for integer overflows. This can result in out-of-bounds memory writes. Exploitation requires a victim to open a crafted, multi-gigabyte XML file. Other software using libxml2's buffer functions, for example libxslt through 1.1.35, is affected as well.
En libxml2 versiones anteriores a 2.9.14, varias funciones de manejo de búferes en buf.c (xmlBuf*) y tree.c (xmlBuffer*) no comprueban los desbordamientos de enteros. Esto puede resultar en escrituras de memoria fuera de límites. La explotación requiere que la víctima abra un archivo XML diseñado de varios gigabytes. Otro software usando las funciones de búfer de libxml2, por ejemplo libxslt versiones hasta 1.1.35, también está afectado
A flaw was found in the libxml2 library in functions used to manipulate the xmlBuf and the xmlBuffer types. A substantial input causes values to calculate buffer sizes to overflow, resulting in an out-of-bounds write.
libxml2 is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow when xmlBufAdd is called on a very large buffer.
