libxml2: stack overflow before detecting invalid XML file

Missing incrementation of recursion depth counter were found in the xmlParserEntityCheck and xmlParseAttValueComplex functions used for parsing XML data. An attacker could launch a Denial of Service attack by passing specially crafted XML data to an application, forcing it to crash due to stack...

Exploiting Recursion in the Linux Kernel

Posted by Jann Horn, Google Project Zero On June 1st, I reported an arbitrary recursion bug in the Linux kernel that can be triggered by a local user on Ubuntu if the system was installed with home directory encryption support. If you want to see the crasher, the exploit code and the shorter bug...

Adobe Flash Player Infinite Recursion Arbitrary Read Access Violation

SUMMARY A potentially exploitable read access violation vulnerability exists in the a way Adobe Flash Player handles infinitely recursive calls. A specially crafted ActionScript code can cause a read access violation which can potentially be further abused. To trriger this vulnerability user...

USN-3005-1 linux-lts-xenial vulnerabilities

Justin Yackoski discovered that the Atheros L2 Ethernet Driver in the Linux kernel incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O. A remote attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory. CVE-2016-2117 Jann Horn discovered that eCryptfs improperly attempted to use...

MGASA-2016-0187 Updated libxml2 packages fix security vulnerability

When running in recovery mode, certain invalid XML documents would trigger an infinite recursion in libxml2 that ran until all stack space was exhausted. This vulnerability could have been used to facilitate a denial-of-sevice attack CVE-2016-3627. libxml2 limits the number of recursions an XML...

CVE-2016-3705

CVE-2016-3705 affects libxml2 (tracked in CVE-2016-3705) and is caused by insufficient tracking of recursion depth in parser.c (functions xmlParserEntityCheck and xmlParseAttValueComplex). A crafted XML document with many nested entity references can exhaust the stack, causing a denial of service...
