CVE-2025-6170 LOW

Published: 2025-06-16 | Last Modified: 2026-06-02 | Status: Modified

Description

A flaw was found in the interactive shell of the xmllint command-line tool, used for parsing XML files. When a user inputs an overly long command, the program does not check the input size properly, which can cause it to crash. This issue might allow attackers to run harmful code in rare configurations without modern protections.

Additional Descriptions (1)

Se detectó una falla en el shell interactivo de la herramienta de línea de comandos xmllint, utilizada para analizar archivos XML. Cuando un usuario introduce un comando demasiado largo, el programa no verifica correctamente el tamaño de entrada, lo que puede provocar un bloqueo. Este problema podría permitir a los atacantes ejecutar código dañino en configuraciones poco comunes sin protecciones modernas.
