CVE-2025-6170 unimportant priority: Debian including 1 source packages (libxml2), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.

Description:

A flaw was found in the interactive shell of the xmllint command-line tool, used for parsing XML files.

This issue might allow attackers to run harmful code in rare configurations without modern protections.
