CVE-2017-9233

Rhodri James discovered an infinite loop vulnerability within the entityValueInitProcessor() function while parsing malformed XML in an external entity. An attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service against an application using the Expat library.

For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.0-6+deb8u4.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.0-2+deb9u1. For the stable distribution (stretch), CVE-2016-9063 was already fixed before the initial release.
