Comment 1 Nicolas Salguero 2024-05-06 10:03:26 CEST
Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix a security vulnerability:

An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.11.7 and 2.12.x before 2.12.5. When using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude expansion enabled, processing crafted XML documents can lead to an xmlValidatePopElement use-after-free. (CVE-2024-25062)

MGA9-64 Plasma Wayland on HP-Pavillion
No installation issues.
Ref bug 32364 for testing, but I don't have a vlc channel list.
$  xmllint --auto

Run chromium ald that works OK.
Good to go AFAICS.
