[SECURITY] Fedora 23 Update: expat-2.1.1-2.fc23

This is expat, the C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark. Expat is a stream oriented XML parser. This means that you register handlers with the parser prior to starting the parse. These handlers are called when the parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parse...

Expat XML Parser Denial of Service Vulnerability

Expat is a C-based XML parser library , it uses a stream-oriented parser . Expat's XML parser fails to use proper entropy for hash initialization, allowing a remote attacker to exploit a vulnerability that could be exploited to construct special XML documents that would trick an application into...

Expat Encryption Mechanism Breach Vulnerability

Expat is a C-based XML parser library , it uses a stream-oriented parser . A security vulnerability exists in Expat when a program uses or passes a 0-seed in a parser call to XMLSetHashSalt, allowing a remote attacker to exploit the vulnerability to compromise cryptographic protection mechanisms...
