CVE-2026-86143 PUBLISHED

Assigner: mitre
Reserved: 05.09.2026 Published: 05.09.2026 Updated: 05.09.2026

In xmlIO in libxml2 before 2.15.4, an inconsistency in xmlOutputWriteCallback and xmlBufUse causes negative lengths to reach write callbacks, aka a lack of a check for integer overflow before calling writecallback. This has security relevance for many types of uses of that length value within a callback.
