What is CVE-2025-47816?

A vulnerability in the GNU PSPP application allows attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds read via the spvxml_parse_attributes function in spvxml-helpers.c. This flaw arises when PSPP processes documents that contain extra content at their end, potentially exposing sensitive data or leading to application crashes. Proper validation and sanitization of document contents are essential to mitigate this risk.
