Commit 652dd12a authored 1 month ago by Nick Wellnhofer's avatar Nick Wellnhofer
[CVE-2022-23308] Use-after-free of ID and IDREF attributes
If a document is parsed with XML_PARSE_DTDVALID and without
XML_PARSE_NOENT, the value of ID attributes has to be normalized after
potentially expanding entities in xmlRemoveID. Otherwise, later calls
to xmlGetID can return a pointer to previously freed memory.

ID attributes which are empty or contain only whitespace after
entity expansion are affected in a similar way. This is fixed by
not storing such attributes in the ID table.

The test to detect streaming mode when validating against a DTD was
broken. In connection with the defects above, this could result in a
use-after-free when using the xmlReader interface with validation.
Fix detection of streaming mode to avoid similar issues. (This changes
the expected result of a test case. But as far as I can tell, using the
XML reader with XIncludes referencing the root document never worked
properly, anyway.)

All of these issues can result in denial of service. Using xmlReader
with validation could result in disclosure of memory via the error
channel, typically stderr. The security impact of xmlGetID returning
a pointer to freed memory depends on the application. The typical use
case of calling xmlGetID on an unmodified document is not affected.
