Description
In libxml2 2.11 before 2.11.9, 2.12 before 2.12.9, and 2.13 before 2.13.3, the SAX parser can produce events for external entities even if custom SAX handlers try to override entity content (by setting "checked"). This makes classic XXE attacks possible.
Affected configurations
• xmlsoft libxml2 (>= 2.11.0 < 2.11.9)
• xmlsoft libxml2 (>= 2.12.0 < 2.12.9)
• xmlsoft libxml2 (>= 2.13.0 < 2.13.3)
• netapp hci compute node
• netapp solidfire \& hci management node
• netapp solidfire \& hci storage node
• netapp h300s firmware
• netapp h410s firmware
