CVE-2013-2877

Publication date 10 July 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.0, as used in Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.71 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a document that ends abruptly, related to the lack of certain checks for the XML_PARSER_EOF state.
