Package        : libxml2
CVE ID         : CVE-2022-40303 CVE-2022-40304
Debian Bug     : 1022224 1022225

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libxml2, a library providing
support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files.

CVE-2022-40303

    Maddie Stone discovered that missing safety checks in several
    functions can result in integer overflows when parsing a XML
    document with the XML_PARSE_HUGE option enabled.

CVE-2022-40304

    Ned Williamson and Nathan Wachholz discovered a vulnerability when
    handling detection of entity reference cycles, which may result in
    corrupted dictionary entries. This flaw may lead to logic errors,
    including memory errors like double free flaws.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.9.10+dfsg-6.7+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.
