Summary
Security update for libxml2
Details

This update for libxml2 fixes the following security issues:

  • CVE-2018-9251: The xzdecomp function allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted XML file that triggers LZMAMEMLIMIT_ERROR, as demonstrated by xmllint (bsc#1088279).
  • CVE-2018-14567: Prevent denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted XML file that triggers LZMAMEMLIMITERROR, as demonstrated by xmllint (bsc#1105166).
  • CVE-2018-14404: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in the xmlXPathCompOpEval() function when parsing an invalid XPath expression in the XPATHOPAND or XPATHOPOR case leading to a denial of service attack (bsc#1102046).
  • CVE-2017-18258: The xz_head function allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted LZMA file, because the decoder functionality did not restrict memory usage to what is required for a legitimate file (bsc#1088601).
