Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-10911)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when parsing xsl nodes. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML file to the application and crash it.


2) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-0989)

CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an uncontrolled recursion in the RelaxNG parser. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service attack.


3) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-0990)

CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an uncontrolled recursion in the xmlCatalogXMLResolveURI function when an XML catalog contains a delegate URI entry that references itself. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service attack.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-0992)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing XML catalogs that contain repeated <nextCatalog> elements pointing to the same downstream catalog. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-1757)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the interactive shell of the xmllint utility when handling whitespaces. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
