Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-16 17:01:47 UTC 
XML::Bare versions through 0.53 for Perl have an unbounded character lookahead.

The parserc_parse function attempts to check for multicharacter strings such as "<![CDATA" or element terminators such as ">" without checking that the offsets are within the buffer.

Truncated strings such as "<a/" can trigger an out-of-bounds read.
