The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in xmlValidatePopElement when using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude expansion enabled. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML document to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
