How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Echo:latest mxml.

NVD Description

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

Mini-XML 4.0.5 contains a memory leak vulnerability in mxml_load_data() during malformed XML parsing. Specially crafted XML input can cause text nodes allocated by mxmlNewText() to become unlinked before a parse error transfers control to the cleanup path. These orphaned nodes are not released, resulting in a persistent memory leak on each parsing attempt. Repeated attacker-controlled requests can cause cumulative memory exhaustion and denial of service.
