NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxml2-debugsource package and not the libxml2-debugsource package as distributed by Centos.

An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. Certain invalid XML entity definitions can corrupt a hash table key, potentially leading to subsequent logic errors. In one case, a double-free can be provoked.
