    Package        : node-xmldom     Version        : 0.1.27+ds-1+deb10u2     CVE ID         : CVE-2021-21366 CVE-2022-39353     Debian Bug     : 1024736

    It was discovered that node-xmldom, a standard XML DOM (Level2 CORE)     implementation in pure javascript, processed ill-formed XML, which may result in     bugs and security holes in downstream applications.

    CVE-2021-21366

        xmldom versions 0.4.0 and older do not correctly preserve system         identifiers, FPIs or namespaces when repeatedly parsing and serializing         maliciously crafted documents.  This may lead to unexpected syntactic         changes during XML processing in some downstream applications.

    CVE-2022-39353

        Mark Gollnick discovered that xmldom parses XML that is not well-formed         because it contains multiple top level elements, and adds all root nodes to         the `childNodes` collection of the `Document`, without reporting or throwing         any error.  This breaks the assumption that there is only a single root node         in the tree, and may open security holes such as CVE-2022-39299 in         downstream applications.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     0.1.27+ds-1+deb10u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your node-xmldom packages.
