It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-86140 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Xmlsoft Libxml2. 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-2026-86140/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86140/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-86140","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86140/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-86140","record":{"aliases":["AZL-99717","BELL-CVE-2026-86140","CLSA-2026-1789745061","CLSA-2026-1789745145","CLSA-2026-1789745282","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-86140","ECHO-a8a9-016d-71e9","GHSA-6wmc-mmch-49h7","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-86140","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-86140","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-86140"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XML parsing library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A stack-based buffer overflow in libxml2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted XML input.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libxml2","vendor":"xmlsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-121","name":"Stack-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"In libxml2 before 2.15.4, xmlSnprintfElements in valid.c has a strcat stack-based buffer overflow.","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 libxml2","id":"CVE-2026-86140","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"xmlsoft:libxml2","products":["xmlsoft:libxml2"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in libxml2","id":"CVE-2026-86141"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in libxml2","id":"CVE-2026-86139"},"products":["libxml2"],"published":"2026-09-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16931","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-23"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8872","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-10"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Use after free in libxml2","id":"CVE-2022-49043","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-34459","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-25062","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-04"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Nokogiri gem, via libxml, is affected by DoS vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2017-16932","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-23"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-08","vendors":["xmlsoft"]},"summary":"A stack-based buffer overflow in libxml2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted XML input.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86140/"}
