CVE-2018-9251: Debian Linux
Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 2.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The xz_decomp function in xzlib.c in libxml2 2.9.8, if --with-lzma is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted XML file that triggers LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR, as demonstrated by xmllint, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8035.
