**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libxml2 versions (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A memory leak exists in the interactive shell of the `xmllint` utility. When a user provides input containing only whitespace, the program does not release the allocated memory buffer, leading to continuous memory accumulation. Repeated execution of this scenario can exhaust system memory, resulting in a denial-of-service condition on the local system.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
