An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-8242 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apple Iphone Os. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8242/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8242/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8242","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8242/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8242","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8242","ECHO-4fbb-139d-20f4","GHSA-f254-qfhg-6649","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-8242"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XML parsing library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause application crashes or leak sensitive information via crafted XML data processed by the libxml2 HTML parser.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"iphone_os","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"mac_os_x","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"tvos","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"watchos","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"icewall_federation_agent","vendor":"hp"},{"product":"icewall_file_manager","vendor":"hp"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_hpc_node","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"libxml2","vendor":"xmlsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The xmlSAX2TextNode function in SAX2.c in the push interface in the HTML parser in libxml2 before 2.9.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read and application crash) or obtain sensitive information via crafted XML data.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8242","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:iphone_os","products":["apple:iphone_os","apple:mac_os_x","apple:tvos","apple:watchos","canonical:ubuntu_linux","redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","redhat:enterprise_linux_hpc_node","redhat:enterprise_linux_server","redhat:enterprise_linux_workstation","xmlsoft:libxml2"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":27,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8247"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8241"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-12-15","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2021-30666","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2021-30761","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2021-30762","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS Webkit Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-4657","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple Multiple Products Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2019-7286","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple iOS Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2019-7287","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple Multiple Products Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2019-8605","kev_date_added":"2022-06-27","published":"2019-12-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause application crashes or leak sensitive information via crafted XML data processed by the libxml2 HTML parser.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8242/"}
