  "details" : [ "In libxml2 before 2.13.8 and 2.14.x before 2.14.2, out-of-bounds memory access can occur in the Python API (Python bindings) because of an incorrect return value. This occurs in xmlPythonFileRead and xmlPythonFileReadRaw because of a difference between bytes and characters.", "A flaw was found in libxml2. This vulnerability allows out-of-bounds memory access due to incorrect handling of return values in xmlPythonFileRead and xmlPythonFileReadRaw. This is caused by a mismatch between the length of the file in bytes vs the length in characters, as unicode characters can occupy up to 4 bytes per character." ],
  "statement" : "This bug affects parsing of text streams using:\n- the Python bindings (pending deprecation: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/891)\n- the libxml2 SAX driver drv_libxml2,\n- the XML Reader API\nParsing of binary streams is not affected by this vulnerability.\nThe vulnerability exists in the libxml2 package the bug arises because of a mismatch between characters vs. bytes handling: functions xmlPythonFileRead and xmlPythonFileReadRaw may compute a length incorrectly (mistaking character count for byte count), but for a successful exploitation of this bug requires local access, on top of that the path to exploitation is non trivial, where handling of python binding's and specific input handling of bytes and characters are required which makes this outside the scope of an attacker and increases the attack complexity, for these reasons this has been marked as moderate by Red Hat.",
