expat2 -- Fix extraction of namespace prefixes from XML names

expat project reports: XML names with multiple colons could end up in the wrong namespace, and take a high amount of RAM and CPU resources while processing, opening the door to use for denial-of-service attacks...

XML External Entities (XXE)

expat is vulnerable to denial of service. Entities expansions are not properly handled unless using the XMLSetEntityDeclHandler function. This allows remote attackers to crash the process, send HTTP requests on behalf of the server or read arbitrary files via a malicious XML document...

Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in Python affects IBM Analytics Engine (CVE-2018-14647)

Summary Python is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the elementtree C accelerator. By using a specially-crafted XML document, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a resource exhaustion. Vulnerability Details CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14647 DESCRIPTION: Python’s...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

Python is vulnerable to denial of service attacks. Remote unauthenticated attackers could exploit the vulnerable Elementtree C Accelerator component by constructing an XML document that would cause pathological hash collisions in Expat's internal data structures, consuming large amounts CPU and R...

python: Missing salt initialization in _elementtree.c module

Python's elementtree C accelerator failed to initialise Expat's hash salt during initialization. This could make it easy to conduct denial of service attacks against Expat by contructing an XML document that would cause pathological hash collisions in Expat's internal data structures, consuming...
