Description
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.
A flaw was found in libxml2. This vulnerability allows out-of-bounds memory access due to incorrect handling of return values in xmlPythonFileRead and xmlPythonFileReadRaw. This is caused by a mismatch between the length of the file in bytes vs the length in characters, as unicode characters can occupy up to 4 bytes per character.
