expat -- denial of service vulnerability on malformed input

Gustavo Grieco reports: The Expat XML parser mishandles certain kinds of malformed input documents, resulting in buffer overflows during processing and error reporting. The overflows can manifest as a segmentation fault or as memory corruption during a parse operation. The bugs allow for a denial...

UBUNTU-CVE-2016-3705

The 1 xmlParserEntityCheck and 2 xmlParseAttValueComplex functions in parser.c in libxml2 2.9.3 do not properly keep track of the recursion depth, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service stack consumption and application crash via a crafted XML document containing a...

xercesi-c3 -- multiple vulnerabilities

Apache reports: The Xerces-C XML parser fails to successfully parse a DTD that is deeply nested, and this causes a stack overflow, which makes a denial of service attack against many applications possible by an unauthenticated attacker. Also, CVE-2016-2099: Use-after-free vulnerability in...

CVE-2016-1343

The XML parser in Cisco Information Server CIS 6.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service CPU and memory consumption via an external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity XXE issue, aka Bug ID CSCuy39059...

CVE-2016-1343

Cisco Information Server (CIS) 6.2 is affected by an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in the XML parser, where external entity declarations combined with an entity reference can allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service (CPU/memory). Exploitation details a...

Cisco Information Server XML Parser Denial of Service Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the default configuration of the XML parser component of Cisco Information Server CIS could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access sensitive data or cause excessive consumption of system resources, which could cause a denial of service DoS condition on a targeted...
