Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project. Due to its flexible C implementation and continuous development, Libxml2 is known to be very portable, the library builds and works on a variety of systems (Linux, Unix, Windows, CygWin, MacOS, MacOS X, RISC Os, OS/2, VMS, QNX, MVS, VxWorks, ...). It is or has been adopted by many major vendors or products including Google (Chrome), VMWare, Apple (Safari, Mac OSX, iOS, ...), and many embedded systems. As in the [Google Patch Rewards](https://www.google.com.sg/about/appsecurity/patch-rewards) , Libxml2 is listed in the category of core infrastructure data parsers.
From 2015-2016, our fuzzing work on Libxml2 has systematically identified a sequence of bugs including use-after
