Description

valid.c in libxml2 before 2.9.13 has a use-after-free of ID and IDREF attributes. A flaw was found in libxml2. A call to the xmlGetID function can return a pointer already freed when parsing an XML document with the XML_PARSE_DTDVALID option and without the XML_PARSE_NOENT option, resulting in a use-after-free issue.
