Hi,

You are receiving an AlmaLinux Security update email because you subscribed to receive errata
notifications from AlmaLinux.

AlmaLinux: 10
Type: Security
Severity: Important
Release date: 2026-04-15

Summary:

This module provides ways to parse XML documents. It is built on top of XML::Parser::Expat, which
is a lower level interface to James Clark's expat library. Each call to one of the parsing methods
creates a new instance of XML::Parser::Expat which is then used to parse the document. Expat
options may be provided when the XML::Parser object is created. These options are then passed on to
the Expat object on each parse call. They can also be given as extra arguments to the parse
methods, in which case they override options given at XML::Parser creation time.  

Security Fix(es):  

  * perl-xml-parser: XML::Parser: Memory corruption via deeply nested XML files (CVE-2006-10003)
  * perl-xml-parser: XML::Parser for Perl: Heap corruption and denial of service from crafted XML
input (CVE-2006-10002)
