NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream scilab package and not the scilab package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in ezXML 0.8.3 through 0.8.6. The function ezxml_char_content puts a pointer to the internal address of a larger block as xml->txt. This is later deallocated (using free), leading to a segmentation fault.
