CVE-2025-7425Libxslt: libxml2: heap use-after-free in libxslt caused by atype corruption in xmlattrptr

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects GNOME libxml2 and 33 other products. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

A flaw was found in libxslt where the attribute type, atype, flags are modified in a way that corrupts internal memory management. When XSLT functions, such as the key() process, result in tree fragments, this corruption prevents the proper cleanup of ID attributes. As a result, the system may access freed memory, causing crashes or enabling attackers to trigger heap corruption.
