Package : libxml2
Version : 2.9.10+dfsg-6.7+deb11u9
CVE ID : CVE-2025-9714 CVE-2025-7425
Debian Bug : 1109122
Two security issues were found in libxml2, the GNOME XML library, which
could yield denial of service or heap corruption.
CVE-2025-9714
It was discovered that recursion evaluation in XPath evaluation is
uncontrolled and therefore allows a local attacker to cause a stack
overflow via crafted expressions.
CVE-2025-7425
Sergei Glazunov discovered a heap-use-after-free in xmlFreeID()
caused by `atype` corruption. While the vulnerability was reported
against libxslt, the XSLT 1.0 processing library, it is now
mitigated in this libxml2 version.
For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
2.9.10+dfsg-6.7+deb11u9.
We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.
For the detailed security status of libxml2 please refer to
its security tracker page at:
