Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: perl-XML-LibXML security update
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: An update for perl-XML-LibXML is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details: This module implements a Perl interface to the GNOME libxml2 library which provides interfaces for parsing and manipulating XML files. This module allows Perl programmers to make use of the highly capable validating XML parser and the high performance DOM implementation. Security Fix(es): * perl-XML-LibXML: XML::LibXML: Denial of Service via truncated UTF-8 in XML node names (CVE-2026-8177) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

A flaw was found in XML::LibXML for Perl. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability when processing specially crafted XML node names containing incomplete UTF-8 character sequences. This can lead to an out-of-bounds read in heap memory, potentially causing the application to crash and resulting in a denial of service.

CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds Read

Any Perl process that passes attacker-controlled strings to XML::LibXML\u0027s DOM node-name methods can trigger this flaw, with the likely consequence being a crash causing denial of service. The vulnerability is in the perl-XML-LibXML package specifically, not in the core perl interpreter.
