Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for vtk6.
CVE-2021-42521[0]:
| There is a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in VTK before 9.2.5,
| and it lies in IO/Infovis/vtkXMLTreeReader.cxx. The vendor didn't
| check the return value of libxml2 API 'xmlDocGetRootElement', and try
| to dereference it. It is unsafe as the return value can be NULL and
| that NULL pointer dereference may crash the application.
