libxml-bare-perl: XML::Bare versions through 0.53 for Perl have an unbounded character lookahead
CVE-2026-57074 is fixed in 4 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-57074, released July 19, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Urgent.
XML::Bare versions through 0.53 for Perl have an unbounded character lookahead. The parserc_parse function attempts to check for multicharacter strings such as "<![CDATA" or element terminators such as ">" without checking that the offsets are within the buffer. Truncated strings such as "<a/" can trigger an out-of-bounds read.
