Detail
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Expat, an XML parsing C library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2016-9063 Gustavo Grieco discovered an integer overflow flaw during parsing of XML. An attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service against an application using the Expat library. 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. For the testing distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.1-1 or earlier version. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.1-1 or earlier version. We recommend that you upgrade your expat packages. |
