XML::LibXML for Perl reads beyond allocated heap memory when it encounters XML node names with truncated UTF-8 sequences. An attacker who can feed crafted XML to a Perl application using this library could crash the process or potentially leak heap contents. This matters if you have any Perl services or scripts parsing untrusted XML input.
