Alpine: multiple libxml2 packages, multiple py3-libxml2 packages: security update to 2.12.7-r3

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 425969

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - In libxml2 before 2.13.8 and 2.14.x before 2.14.2, out-of-bounds memory access can occur in the Python API
 (Python bindings) because of an incorrect return value. This occurs in xmlPythonFileRead and
 xmlPythonFileReadRaw because of a difference between bytes and characters. (CVE-2025-32414)

 - In libxml2 before 2.13.8 and 2.14.x before 2.14.2, xmlSchemaIDCFillNodeTables in xmlschemas.c has a heap-
 based buffer under-read. To exploit this, a crafted XML document must be validated against an XML schema
 with certain identity constraints, or a crafted XML schema must be used. (CVE-2025-32415)
