CVE-2006-10002 (2026-03-19)

XML::Parser versions through 2.45 for Perl could overflow the pre-allocated buffer size cause a heap corruption (double free or corruption) and crashes. A :utf8 PerlIO layer, parse_stream() in Expat.xs could overflow the XML input buffer because Perl's read() returns decoded characters while SvPV() gives back multi-byte UTF-8 bytes that can exceed the pre-allocated buffer size. This can cause heap corruption (double free or corruption) and crashes.

CVE-2006-10003 (2026-03-19)

XML::Parser versions through 2.47 for Perl has an off-by-one heap buffer overflow in st_serial_stack. In the case (stackptr == stacksize - 1), the stack will NOT be expanded. Then the new value will be written at location (++stackptr), which equals stacksize and therefore falls just outside the allocated buffer. The bug can be observed when parsing an XML file with very deep element nesting

NAME

XML::Parser::Style::Objects

SYNOPSIS

use XML::Parser;
my $p = XML::Parser->new(Style => 'Objects', Pkg => 'MyNode');
my $tree = $p->parsefile('foo.xml');

DESCRIPTION

This module implements XML::Parser's Objects style parser.

This is similar to the Tree style, except that a hash object is created for each element. The corresponding object will be in the class whose name is created by appending "::" and the element name to the package set with the Pkg option. Non-markup text will be in the ::Characters class. The contents of the corresponding object will be in an anonymous array that is the value of the Kids property for that object.
