libxml2 -- Stack-based Buffer Overflow

2025-05-31 · CVE-2025-24928 · VuXML entry

[email protected] reports: libxml2 before 2.12.10 and 2.13.x before 2.13.6 has a stack-based buffer overflow in xmlSnprintfElements in valid.c. To exploit this, DTD validation must occur for an untrusted document or untrusted DTD. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2017-9047.

Affected versions

• libxml2 < 2.11.9_1; >= 2.12.0 < 2.12.10; >= 2.13.0 < 2.13.6

By system

0 still vulnerable, 2 fixed. Where VuXML applies (FreeBSD, DragonFly, FreeBSD's derivatives) a port is vulnerable while its version is in a range; pkgsrc says itself whether it lists a CVE of this advisory; OpenBSD and MidnightBSD keep no list this site reads, so their row is only an estimate: FreeBSD's ranges applied to upstream's version.
