CVE-2015-3451 (2015-04-23)

The _clone function does not properly set the expand_entities option, which allows remote attackers to conduct XML external entity (XXE) attacks via crafted XML data to the (1) new or (2) load_xml function.

CVE-2017-10672 (2015-04-23)

Use-after-free in the XML-LibXML module through 2.0129 for Perl allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by controlling the arguments to a replaceChild call.

NAME

XML::LibXML::Attr - The DOM Attribute Class

SYNOPSIS

use XML::LibXML::Attr;

$attr = XML::LibXML::Attr->new($name [,$value]);
$string = $attr->getValue();
$value = $attr->value;
$attr->setValue( $string );
$node = $attr->getOwnerDocument();

DESCRIPTION

This is the interface to handle Attributes like ordinary nodes. The naming of the class relies on the W3C DOM documentation.

Methods

new

Class constructor. If you need to work with iso encoded strings, you should allways use the createAttrbute of XML::LibXML::Document .

getValue

Returns the value stored for the attribute. If undef is returned, the attribute has no value, which is different of being not specified .

value

Alias for getValue()

setValue

This is needed to set a new attributevalue. If iso encoded strings are passed as parameter, the node has to be bound to a document, otherwise the encoding might be wrong done.

getOwnerElement

returns the node the attribute belongs to. If the attribute is not bound to a node, undef will be returned. Overwriting the underlaying implementation, the parentNode function will return undef, instead of the owner element.
