This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-49794)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the xmlSchematronGetNode() function when processing XPath expressions in Schematron schema elements schematron.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Not qualyfied (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-49795)

This issue does not qualify for vulnerability definition as it is present in the dev code that was never released outside of the dev tree. 

The original description:

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the xmlSchematronFormatReport() function when processing incorrect XPath expressions in Schematron schema reports. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

3) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-49796)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error within the xmlSchematronFormatReport() function when processing sch:name elements in schematron.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and crash the application. 

4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-6021)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the xmlBuildQName() function in tree.c . A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
