libxml2: stack exhaustion while parsing xml files in recovery mode

Missing recursive loop detection checks were found in the xmlParserEntityCheck and xmlStringGetNodeList functions of libxml2, causing application using the library to crash by stack exhaustion while building the associated data. An attacker able to send XML data to be parsed in recovery mode coul...

Design/Logic Flaw

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...

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...

CVE-2016-3705

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...
