Summary

libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in the xmlDictAddString function in dict.c. This vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash. This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-1839.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Overread Buffers
    An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

"According to the versions of the libxml2 packages installed, the
EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following
vulnerabilities :

  - dict.c in libxml2 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and
    application crash) via an unexpected character
    immediately after the '<!DOCTYPE html' substring in a
    crafted HTML document.(CVE-2015-8806)

  - libxml2 2.9.4, when used in recover mode, allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference) via a crafted XML document. NOTE: The
    maintainer states 'I would disagree of a CVE with the
    Recover parsing option which should only be used for
    manual recovery at least for XML
    parser.'(CVE-2017-5969)

  - The htmlParseTryOrFinish function in HTMLparser.c in
    libxml2 2.9.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of
    service (buffer over-read) or information
    disclosure.(CVE-2017-8872)

  - libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a
    stack-based buffer overflow. The function
    xmlSnprintfElementContent in valid.c is supposed to
    recursively dump the element content definition into a
    char buffer 'buf' of size 'size'. At the end of the
    routine, the function may strcat two more characters
    without checking whether the current strlen(buf) + 2 <
    size. This vulnerability causes programs that use
    libxml2, such as PHP, to crash.(CVE-2017-9048)

  - libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a
    heap-based buffer over-read in the
    xmlDictComputeFastKey function in dict.c. This
    vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as
    PHP, to crash. This vulnerability exists because of an
    incomplete fix for libxml2 Bug 759398.(CVE-2017-9049)

  - libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a
    heap-based buffer over-read in the xmlDictAddString
    function in dict.c. This vulnerability causes programs
    that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash. This
    vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for
    CVE-2016-1839.(CVE-2017-9050)

  - The xz_decomp function in xzlib.c in libxml2 2.9.8, if
    --with-lzma is used, allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted XML
    file that triggers LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR, as demonstrated
    by xmllint, a different vulnerability than
    CVE-2015-8035.(CVE-2018-9251)

  - libxml2 2.9.8, if --with-lzma is used, allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop)
    via a crafted XML file that triggers
    LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR, as demonstrated by xmllint, a
    different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8035 and
    CVE-2018-9251.(CVE-2018-14567)

"libxml2 developers report :

The htmlParseTryOrFinish function in HTMLparser.c in libxml2 2.9.4
allows attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or
information disclosure.

A buffer overflow was discovered in libxml2
20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801. The function xmlSnprintfElementContent in
valid.c is supposed to recursively dump the element content definition
into a char buffer 'buf' of size 'size'. The variable len is assigned
strlen(buf). If the content->type is XML_ELEMENT_CONTENT_ELEMENT, then
(i) the content->prefix is appended to buf (if it actually fits)
whereupon (ii) content->name is written to the buffer. However, the
check for whether the content->name actually fits also uses 'len'
rather than the updated buffer length strlen(buf). This allows us to
write about 'size' many bytes beyond the allocated memory. This
vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash.

libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a stack-based
buffer overflow. The function xmlSnprintfElementContent in valid.c is
supposed to recursively dump the element content definition into a
char buffer 'buf' of size 'size'. At the end of the routine, the
function may strcat two more characters without checking whether the
current strlen(buf) + 2 < size. This vulnerability causes programs
that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash.

libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a heap-based
buffer over-read in the xmlDictComputeFastKey function in dict.c. This
vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash.
This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for libxml2 Bug
759398.

libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a heap-based
buffer over-read in the xmlDictAddString function in dict.c. This
vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash.
This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for
CVE-2016-1839."
