CVE-2025-27113

A flaw was found in libxml2. This vulnerability allows a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a potential crash or denial of service via a crafted XML pattern.

Because this vulnerability requires that an unsuspecting user parses a specially crafted malicious XML file, or that a service that does so accepts untrusted input, and because the consequences of this flaw are limited to exhaustion of the resources available to the user with whose privileges the vulnerable application is run, Red Hat assesses this vulnerability's impact as Low.
