{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-0992","details":"A flaw was found in the libxml2 library. This uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability occurs when processing XML catalogs that contain repeated \u003cnextCatalog\u003e elements pointing to the same downstream catalog. A remote attacker can exploit this by supplying crafted catalogs, causing the parser to redundantly traverse catalog chains. This leads to excessive CPU consumption and degrades application availability, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.","modified":"2026-09-02T08:47:34.404411703Z","published":"2026-01-15T15:15:52.657Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-0992"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-0992"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libxml2","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libxml2?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.9.14+dfsg-1.3~deb12u6"}]}],"versions":["2.9.14+dfsg-1.2","2.9.14+dfsg-1.3~deb12u1","2.9.14+dfsg-1.3~deb12u2","2.9.14+dfsg-1.3~deb12u3","2.9.14+dfsg-1.3~deb12u4","2.9.14+dfsg-1.3~deb12u5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-0992.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libxml2","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libxml2?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-2.1+deb13u3"}]}],"versions":["2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-2.1","2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-2.1+deb13u1","2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-2.1+deb13u2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-0992.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libxml2","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libxml2?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.15.2+dfsg-0.1"}]}],"versions":["2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-2.1","2.13.1+dfsg-0exp1","2.13.3+dfsg-0exp1","2.13.3+dfsg-0exp2","2.14.1+dfsg-0exp1","2.14.2+dfsg-0exp1","2.14.3+dfsg-0exp1","2.14.3+dfsg-0exp2","2.14.3+dfsg-0exp3","2.14.4+dfsg-0exp1","2.14.5+dfsg-0.1","2.14.5+dfsg-0.2","2.14.5+dfsg-0exp1","2.14.5+dfsg-0exp2","2.14.6+dfsg-0.1","2.15.0+dfsg-0.1","2.15.0+dfsg-0.2","2.15.0+dfsg-0.3","2.15.1+dfsg-0.1","2.15.1+dfsg-0.2","2.15.1+dfsg-0.3","2.15.1+dfsg-0.4","2.15.1+dfsg-0.5","2.15.1+dfsg-1","2.15.1+dfsg-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-0992.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}
