USN-7896-1: libxml2 vulnerabilities

Ubuntu • November 27, 2025

It was discovered that the libxml2 Python bindings incorrectly handled certain return values. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libxml2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. ( CVE-2025-32414 ) It was discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libxml2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. ( CVE-2025-32415 ) It was discovered that libxslt, used by libxml2, incorrectly handled certain attributes. An attacker could use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This update adds a fix to libxml2 to mitigate the libxslt vulnerability. ( CVE-2025-7425 )

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu Pro provides ten-year security coverage to 25,000+ packages in Main and Universe repositories, and it is free for up to five machines.
