NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream podman-docker package and not the podman-docker package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

libxml2 is vulnerable to multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the xmlcatalog utility when running in --shell mode. The usershell() function processes user input using fixed-size stack buffers without proper bounds checking. By supplying an overly long input line, an attacker can overflow internal buffers (command, arg, and argv) during input parsing. This results in memory corruption within the stack frame. Successful exploitation may cause a crash or potentially allow arbitrary code execution in the context of the xmlcatalog process.

This issue has been fixed in the commit c2e233fc.

NOTE: The maintainers of this project did not agree that this issue is a vulnerability and considered it a bug.
