Description
xpointer.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5 (as used in Apple iOS before 10, OS X before 10.12, tvOS before 10, and watchOS before 3, and other products) does not forbid namespace nodes in XPointer ranges, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption) via a crafted XML document.
Affected configurations
• apple iphone os (< 10.0)
• apple mac os x (< 10.12)
• apple tvos (< 10.0)
• apple watchos (< 3.0)
• xmlsoft libxml2 (< 2.9.5)
