Last modified

CVE-2013-1969 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in libxml2 2.9.0 and possibly other versions might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the (1) htmlParseChunk and (2) xmldecl_done functions, as demonstrated by a buffer overflow in the xmlBufGetInputBase function.. EPSS estimates a 3.79% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
