Remote Yes
Type Denial of service
Description
The xmlBuildQName function in tree.c is vulnerable to an integer overflow when calculating the required buffer size for concatenating a prefix and a local name (ncname). The lengths of ncname and prefix are retrieved using strlen (which returns size_t) but are then implicitly cast to int variables lenn and lenp.
