Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libxml2, a library providing
support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files.

CVE-2023-28484

     A NULL pointer dereference flaw when parsing invalid XML schemas may
     result in denial of service.

CVE-2023-29469

     It was reported that when hashing empty strings which aren't
     null-terminated, xmlDictComputeFastKey could produce inconsistent
     results, which may lead to various logic or memory errors.
