CVE-2024-40896 is fixed in 7 products on 1 platform, first by OPENSUSE-SU-2025:0024-1, released January 23, 2025. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
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 SAXhandlers try to override entity content (by setting "checked"). This makesclassic XXE attacks possible.
