cover Fix libxml2 unsafe memory access

From: Kai Kang <[email protected]>

The patch is from:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746048

Build image with packagegroup-core-buildessential, boot the image and compile following c code:

==================================================
#include "string.h"

#include <libxml/HTMLparser.h>
#include <libxml/HTMLtree.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
// Nokogiri::HTML::fragment("<!-- ")

  htmlDocPtr doc ;
  int options = HTML_PARSE_RECOVER | HTML_PARSE_NOERROR | HTML_PARSE_NOWARNING | HTML_PARSE_NONET ;

  char* HTMLFRAG_GOOD = "<html><body><!-- x" ;
  char* HTMLFRAG_BAD  = "<html><body><!--" ;

  char* HTMLFRAG = HTMLFRAG_BAD ;

  xmlInitParser();

doc = htmlReadMemory(HTMLFRAG, strlen(HTMLFRAG),

                       NULL,
                       "UTF-8",
                       options);

xmlFreeDoc(doc);
}
==================================================

Run with valgrind, there is no warning.

This may be a nitpick but I don't think DV has taken this patch in the six months it's been available so it's not a backport.

This may be a nitpick but I don't think DV has taken this patch in the six months it's been available so it's not a backport.

I suppose Backport is the best choice in upstream status [ Pending Submitted Accepted Backport Denied Inappropriate ]. Though it is not from official upstream, it is from somewhere else as listed in the patch.

Thanks.

This may be a nitpick but I don't think DV has taken this patch in the six months it's been available so it's not a backport.

I suppose Backport is the best choice in upstream status [ Pending Submitted Accepted Backport Denied Inappropriate ]. Though it is not from official upstream, it is from somewhere else as listed in the patch.

'Submitted [where]' is the right choice here, I think.
