### Vulnerability Details

In libxml2 before 2.9.14, several buffer handling functions in buf.c (xmlBuf*) and tree.c (xmlBuffer*) don't check for integer overflows. This can result in out-of-bounds memory writes. Exploitation requires a victim to open a crafted, multi-gigabyte XML file. Other software using libxml2's buffer functions, for example libxslt through 1.1.35, is affected as well.

Micro-Learning Topic: Integer overflow (Detected by phrase)

Matched on "integer overflow"

What is this? (2min video)

Integer overflow occurs when the result of arithmetic operation is greater than the maximum value the integer data type can store. For example, if an integer data type allows integers up to two bytes or 16 bits in length (or an unsigned number up to decimal 65,535), and two integers are to be added together that will exceed the value of 65,535, the result will be integer overflow.

Micro-Learning Topic: Vulnerable library (Detected by phrase)

Matched on "Vulnerable Library"

What is this? (2min video)

Use of vulnerable components will introduce weaknesses into the application. Components with published vulnerabilities will allow easy exploitation as resources will often be available to automate the process.
