Use-after-free and Memory Corruption Vulnerability in libxml2

CVE-2016-4658 · HIGH Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

xpointer.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5 (as used in Apple iOS before 10, OS X before 10.12, tvOS before 10, and watchOS before 3, and other products) does not forbid namespace nodes in XPointer ranges, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption) via a crafted XML document.
