"From Red Hat Security Advisory 2016:0430 :

Updated xerces-c packages that fix one security issue are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the
CVE link in the References section.

Xerces-C is a validating XML parser written in a portable subset of
C++.

It was discovered that the Xerces-C XML parser did not properly
process certain XML input. By providing specially crafted XML data to
an application using Xerces-C for XML processing, a remote attacker
could exploit this flaw to cause an application crash or, possibly,
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application.
(CVE-2016-0729)

Red Hat would like to thank Gustavo Grieco for reporting this issue.

All xerces-c users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After
installing the update, all applications using Xerces-C must be
restarted for the update to take effect."
