Synopsis
The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.Description
According to the versions of the libxml2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :- This library allows to manipulate XML files. It includes support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. There is DTDs support this includes parsing and validation even with complex DtDs, either at parse time or later once the document has been modified. The output can be a simple SAX stream or and in-memory DOM like representations. In this case one can use the built-in XPath and XPointer implementation to select sub nodes or ranges. A flexible Input/Output mechanism is available, with existing HTTP and FTP modules and combined to an URI library.Security Fix(es):xmlSchemaPreRun in xmlschemas.c in libxml2 2.9.10 allows an xmlSchemaValidateStream memory leak.(CVE-2019-20388)xmlStringLenDecodeEntities in parser.c in libxml2 2.9.10 has an infinite loop in a certain end-of-file situation.(CVE-2020-7595)xmlParseBalancedChunkMemoryRec over in parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.10 has a memory leak related to newDoc->oldNs.(CVE-2019-19956)
