During the month of October 2025 and on behalf of Freexian, I worked on the
following:

mediawiki
---------

libxml2
-------

Uploaded 2.9.4+dfsg1-7+deb10u13 (buster) and 2.9.4+dfsg1-2.2+deb9u15 (stretch) and
issued ELA-1542-1.
https://www.freexian.com/lts/extended/updates/ela-1542-1-libxml2/

  * CVE-2025-9714: Stack overflow via crafted expressions due to
    uncontrolled recursion.
  * CVE-2025-7425: 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 libxml2.

Filed trixie-pu bug #1117843 and bookworm-pu bug #1117844 with a fix for
CVE-2025-9714 and an improved mitigation patch for CVE-2025-7425.
https://bugs.debian.org/1117843
https://bugs.debian.org/1117844

Uploaded libxml2.9=2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-2.3 to sid with a fix for
CVE-2025-9714 and a mitigation patch for CVE-2025-7425.
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1678900/accepted-libxml29-2127dfsgreally2914-23-source-into-unstable/
(libxml2.9 is a sid-only package which is never meant to transition to testing.
It is needed for a soname transition but will be removed once no package depends
on it anymore, see #1112209.)

libxslt
-------

Backport and test fixes to LTS and ELTS suites for

 * CVE-2025-10911: Type confusion issue in exsltFuncResultComp().
 * CVE-2025-11731: Use-after-free with key data stored cross-RVT.

but didn't upload yet as the suggested fix for CVE-2025-10911 as not yet been
merged upstream.

Thanks to the sponsors for financing the above, and to Freexian for
coordinating!
