NIST CVE Summary
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.
CVE Severity
Our Official Summary
The issue arises from incorrect handling of return values in the xmlPythonFileRead and xmlPythonFileReadRaw functions. Specifically, a mismatch between bytes and characters in Python 3 can lead to out-of-bounds memory access.
This issue is of low risk as containers where this is reported are not accessible without privileged access. Impact of exploitation is also low since the attack surface is restricted to containers and they do not allow execution of arbitraty code.
