Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. Crafted XML input can fool the parser into changing from DTD parsing to document parsing too early; a consecutive call to XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber) then results in a heap-based buffer over-read.
