Use-after-free in the XML-LibXML module through 2.0129 for Perl allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by controlling the arguments to a replaceChild call.

According to the version of the perl-XML-LibXML package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Use-after-free in the XML-LibXML module through 2.0129     for Perl allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code by controlling the arguments to a replaceChild     call.(CVE-2017-10672)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

A use-after-free vulnerability was discovered in XML::LibXML, a Perl interface to the libxml2 library, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code by controlling the arguments to a replaceChild() call.

The XML::LibXML perl module is affected by a 'use-after-free' vulnerability which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by controlling the arguments to a replaceChild() call.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.0001+dfsg-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxml-libxml-perl packages.
