Package        : libxml2
CVE ID         : CVE-2023-28484 CVE-2023-29469
Debian Bug     : 1034436 1034437

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

CVE-2023-28484

    A NULL pointer dereference flaw when parsing invalid XML schemas may
    result in denial of service.

CVE-2023-29469

    It was reported that when hashing empty strings which aren't
    null-terminated, xmlDictComputeFastKey could produce inconsistent
    results, which may lead to various logic or memory errors.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.9.10+dfsg-6.7+deb11u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.

For the detailed security status of libxml2 please refer to its security
tracker page at:
