CVE-2007-6284  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libxml2 to version 2.6.30.dfsg-3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxml2 package and not the libxml2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The xmlCurrentChar function in libxml2 before 2.6.31 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via XML containing invalid UTF-8 sequences.
