NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxml2-python package and not the libxml2-python package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in the xmlDictAddString function in dict.c. This vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash. This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-1839.
