CVE-2019-15903 2 Libexpat Project, Python 2 Libexpat, Python 2023-12-10 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
In libexpat before 2.2.8, crafted XML input could fool the parser into changing from DTD parsing to document parsing too early; a consecutive call to XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber) then resulted in a heap-based buffer over-read.
CVE-2018-20843 7 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 4 more 9 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 6 more 2023-12-10 7.8 HIGH 7.5 HIGH
In libexpat in Expat before 2.2.7, XML input including XML names that contain a large number of colons could make the XML parser consume a high amount of RAM and CPU resources while processing (enough to be usable for denial-of-service attacks).
CVE-2017-9233 3 Debian, Libexpat Project, Python 3 Debian Linux, Libexpat, Python 2023-12-10 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
XML External Entity vulnerability in libexpat 2.2.0 and earlier (Expat XML Parser Library) allows attackers to put the parser in an infinite loop using a malformed external entity definition from an external DTD.
CVE-2017-11742 2 Libexpat Project, Microsoft 2 Libexpat, Windows 2023-12-10 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
The writeRandomBytes_RtlGenRandom function in xmlparse.c in libexpat in Expat 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 on Windows allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse ADVAPI32.DLL in the current working directory because of an untrusted search path, aka DLL hijacking.
CVE-2016-5300 4 Canonical, Debian, Google and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Android and 1 more 2023-12-10 7.8 HIGH 7.5 HIGH
The XML parser in Expat does not use sufficient entropy for hash initialization, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted identifiers in an XML document. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-0876.
CVE-2016-4472 4 Canonical, Libexpat Project, Mcafee and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Libexpat, Policy Auditor and 1 more 2023-12-10 6.8 MEDIUM 8.1 HIGH
The overflow protection in Expat is removed by compilers with certain optimization settings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted XML data. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-1283 and CVE-2015-2716.
CVE-2015-1283 8 Canonical, Debian, Google and 5 more 13 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Chrome and 10 more 2023-12-10 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
Multiple integer overflows in the XML_GetBuffer function in Expat through 2.1.0, as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 and other products, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted XML data, a related issue to CVE-2015-2716.
CVE-2016-0718 9 Apple, Canonical, Debian and 6 more 14 Mac Os X, Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux and 11 more 2023-12-10 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
Expat allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed input document, which triggers a buffer overflow.
CVE-2012-6702 4 Canonical, Debian, Google and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Android and 1 more 2023-12-10 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
Expat, when used in a parser that has not called XML_SetHashSalt or passed it a seed of 0, makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via vectors involving use of the srand function.
CVE-2013-0340 3 Apple, Libexpat Project, Python 7 Ipados, Iphone Os, Macos and 4 more 2023-12-10 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
expat 2.1.0 and earlier does not properly handle entities expansion unless an application developer uses the XML_SetEntityDeclHandler function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption), send HTTP requests to intranet servers, or read arbitrary files via a crafted XML document, aka an XML External Entity (XXE) issue. NOTE: it could be argued that because expat already provides the ability to disable external entity expansion, the responsibility for resolving this issue lies with application developers; according to this argument, this entry should be REJECTed, and each affected application would need its own CVE.
CVE-2012-1148 2 Apple, Libexpat Project 2 Mac Os X, Libexpat 2023-12-10 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Memory leak in the poolGrow function in expat/lib/xmlparse.c in expat before 2.1.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of crafted XML files that cause improperly-handled reallocation failures when expanding entities.
CVE-2012-1147 2 Apple, Libexpat Project 2 Mac Os X, Libexpat 2023-12-10 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
readfilemap.c in expat before 2.1.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption) via a large number of crafted XML files.
CVE-2012-0876 6 Canonical, Debian, Libexpat Project and 3 more 11 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Libexpat and 8 more 2023-12-10 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
The XML parser (xmlparse.c) in expat before 2.1.0 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via an XML file with many identifiers with the same value.
CVE-2009-3560 3 Apache, Libexpat Project, Xmltwig 3 Http Server, Libexpat, Xml-twig For Perl 2023-12-10 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The big2_toUtf8 function in lib/xmltok.c in libexpat in Expat 2.0.1, as used in the XML-Twig module for Perl, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an XML document with malformed UTF-8 sequences that trigger a buffer over-read, related to the doProlog function in lib/xmlparse.c, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-2625 and CVE-2009-3720.
