A flaw was found in the libxml2 library. This uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability occurs when processing XML catalogs that contain repeated <nextCatalog> elements pointing to the same downstream catalog. [CVSS 2.9 LOW]
libxml2's xmlCatalogXMLResolveURI function is vulnerable to uncontrolled recursion when processing self-referencing delegate URI entries in XML catalogs, allowing remote attackers to trigger stack exhaustion and crash applications. This configuration-dependent denial of service requires specially crafted XML input but no authentication, affecting any application using the vulnerable library to parse untrusted catalogs. No patch is currently available.
A flaw was identified in the RelaxNG parser of libxml2 related to how external schema inclusions are handled. The parser does not enforce a limit on inclusion depth when resolving nested <include> directives. [CVSS 3.7 LOW]
A flaw was found in the interactive shell of the xmllint command-line tool, used for parsing XML files.
Stack-based buffer overflow in libxml2's xmlBuildQName function allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash affected systems via crafted XML input. The vulnerability affects libxml2 directly and downstream Red Hat products including OpenShift Container Platform 4.12-4.19, RHEL 7-10, and JBoss Core Services. With CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), EPSS 0.75% (73rd percentile), and publicly available exploit code, this represents a moderate real-world risk focused on availability disruption rather than code execution or data compromise.
