Hi, The following vulnerability was published for libxml2. CVE-2023-45322[0]: | libxml2 through 2.11.5 has a use-after-free that can only occur | after a certain memory allocation fails. This occurs in | xmlUnlinkNode in tree.c. NOTE: the vendor's position is "I don't | think these issues are critical enough to warrant a CVE ID ... | because an attacker typically can't control when memory allocations | fail." If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
