The libxml2 library is a development toolbox providing the implementation of various XML standards.

Security Fix(es):

* libxml2: integer overflows with XML_PARSE_HUGE (CVE-2022-40303) * libxml2: dict corruption caused by entity reference cycles (CVE-2022-40304)

An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. Certain invalid XML entity definitions can corrupt a hash table key, potentially leading to subsequent logic errors. In one case, a double-free can be provoked.

expat 2.1.0 and earlier does not properly handle entities expansion unless an application developer uses the XML_SetEntityDeclHandler function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption), send HTTP requests to intranet servers, or read arbitrary files via a crafted XML document, aka an XML External Entity (XXE) issue. NOTE: it could be argued that because expat already provides the ability to disable external entity expansion, the responsibility for resolving this issue lies with application developers; according to this argument, this entry should be REJECTed, and each affected application would need its own CVE. shadow: TOCTOU (time-of-check time-of-use) race condition when copying and removing directory trees run-mailcap in the Debian mime-support package before 3.52-1+deb7u1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a filename. In Python (aka CPython) up to 3.10.8, the mailcap module does not add escape characters into commands discovered in the system mailcap file. This may allow attackers to inject shell commands into applications that call mailcap.findmatch with untrusted input (if they lack validation of user-provided filenames or arguments). The fix is also back-ported to 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 Use-after-free vulnerability in bzip2recover in bzip2 1.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted bzip2 file, related to block ends set to before the start o…

Affected: openEuler:20.03-LTS-SP1: libxml2

This library allows to manipulate XML files. It includes support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. There is DTDs support this includes parsing and validation even with complex DtDs, either at parse time or later once the document has been modified. The outputcan be a simple SAX stream or and in-memory DOM like representations. In this case one can use the built-in XPath and XPointer implementation to select sub nodes or ranges. A flexible Input/Output mechanism is available, with existing HTTP and FTP modules and combined to an URI library. Security Fix(es): A flaw was found in libxml2. Parsing a XML document with the XML_PARSE_HUGE option enabled can result in an integer overflow because safety checks were missing in some functions. Also, the xmlParseEntityValue function didn't have any length limitation.(CVE-2022-40303) A flaw was found in libxml2. When a reference cycle is detected in the XML entity cleanup function the XML entity data can be stored in a dictionary. In this case, the dictionary becomes corrupted resulting in logic errors, including memory errors like double free.(CVE-2022-40304)

Security update for libxml2

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS: libxml2, Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: libxml2, Ubuntu:18.04:LTS: libxml2, Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: libxml2, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: libxml2

A new LTS Firmware release fixes known vulnerabilities in used open-source libraries. In addition, the following improvements have been implemented: HMI - Hardening against DoS attacks. - Hardening against memory leak problems in case of network attacks. WBM - Umlauts in the password of the 'User Manager' were not handled correctly. The password rule for upper and lower case was not followed. This could lead to unintentionally weaker passwords.- Hardening of WBM against Cross-Site-Scripting. User Manager - In security notifications 'SecurityToken' was always displayed as '0000000' when creating or modifying users.- Hardening of Trust and Identity Stores.
