То як вам ситуація з libxml2?

You can tell because LIBXML2 IS UNMAINTAINED. Because tons of Java-based XML gizmos are basically dead. Cocoon? I have a BOOK on Cocoon somewhere around here. It is dead and gone.

こんなことになってたのか。しかし広範囲なプロダクトで利用されるOSSライブラリがごく少数、あるいは個人のメンテナに支えられている状態だったという話は相変わらず出てくるな。

Okay, but also look at how these folks have been treated in the past :p I'm not saying it's a good solution but it's a damn good way to get people who depend on libxml2 for financial gain to actually contribute back/assist in remediation rather than just yelling at the devs to do so

if major vendors depend on a component they should fund the component: but I don't see a GitHub sponsorship button or any other straightforward ways to support libxml2, which is usually a good first step. I'm not up to date on whether GNOME foundation finally got a permanent director & bydget...
This is a banger of a response, and honestly while I'm still very happy to have projects like Google's Project Zero, it does make me wonder if every bug report shouldn't come with either a dedicated engineer to FIX the OSS project, or a $ for a maintainer to fix it.

💡 Summary by GPT:

この文章は、libxml2というXML処理ライブラリの現状と問題点について詳細に述べています。主なポイントは以下の通りです。

1. libxml2は趣味の開発者によって作られ、長年にわたり多くのOSやブラウザ、プログラミング言語に組み込まれてきた業界標準のライブラリである。
2. しかし、メンテナンスは一人のボランティアに依存しており、セキュリティバグも多く、テストも不十分なため、安全性に問題がある。
3. 開発者は、セキュリティ問題の公開方針を従来の協調的脆弱性開示プロセスに反し、全ての脆弱性を即公開し、 (1/2)

And then I read this today about libxml2 (in their README): "This is open-source software written by hobbyists, maintained by a single volunteer, badly tested, written in a memory-unsafe language and full of security bugs. It is foolish to use this software to process untrusted data."

XML処理ライブラリ「libxml2」に複数の脆弱性

XML処理を行うライブラリ「libxml2」に複数の脆弱性が明らかとなった。

XMLファイル内の特定要素を処理した際にメモリ破損が発生する「CVE-2025-49796」や、特定の状況下で「XPath」のスキーマ要素を解析した際に解放後のメモリを使用するいわゆる「Use After Free」の脆弱性「CVE-2025-49794」が判明したもの。

また「XPath」の解析処理に関するNULLポインタ参照の脆弱性「CVE-2025-49795」や、一部関数において整数オーバーフローの脆弱性「CVE-2025-6021」なども確認された
