CVE-2017-18258 is fixed in 4 products on 1 platform, first by libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-6.1ubuntu1.2, released July 30, 2018. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
The xz_head function in xzlib.c in libxml2 before 2.9.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted LZMA file, because the decoder functionality does not restrict memory usage to what is required for a legitimate file.
