CVE-2026-8177: CWE-125 Out-of-bounds Read in SHLOMIF XML::LibXML

VulnerabilityCVE-2026-8177cvecve-2026-8177cwe-125
Published: Sun May 10 2026 (05/10/2026, 20:48:51 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: SHLOMIF
Product: XML::LibXML

Description

XML::LibXML versions through 2.0210 for Perl read out-of-bounds heap memory when parsing XML node names containing truncated UTF-8 byte sequences. A node name ending in the middle of a multi byte UTF-8 sequence causes the parser to read past the end of the input string into adjacent heap memory. Any Perl process that passes attacker controlled strings to XML::LibXML's DOM node-name methods can reach this path on the default API. The likely consequence is a crash, causing denial of service.
