The vulnerability of the Expat scraping library allows a hacker to trigger a service failure or execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability of the Expat parsing library arises due to buffer overflow. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a service failure or execute arbitrary code crashloop using a specially crafted document...

CVE-2012-6702

CVE-2012-6702 affects the Expat XML parser. Root cause: Expat may call srand or be used with a non-zero seed in XML_SetHashSalt, weakening cryptographic protections. Impact: context-dependent attackers could defeat cryptographic protections via srand-based vectors. No explicit fix in the provided...
