Vulnerabilities

libexpat through 2.9.0 contains a signed integer overflow vulnerability in storeAtts() in lib/xmlparse.c that allows attackers to trigger out-of-bounds writes via oversized attribute counts.

libexpat through 2.9.0 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in externalEntityInitProcessor2() in lib/xmlparse.c that mishandles the XML_TOK_NONE token from empty input.

libexpat through 2.9.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability because billion laughs protection in accountingDiffTolerated() in xmlparse.c detects entity amplification too late.

libexpat 2.7.2 through 2.9.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability because XML_ParserReset zeroes the direct byte count but never offsets tracked heap allocations.

libexpat before 2.8.4 lacks handler call depth tracking with custom encoding callbacks.

In libexpat 2.8.2 and 2.8.3 before 2.8.4, misinterpretation of getentropy's return code leads to insufficient entropy, which results in being vulnerable to hash flooding attacks, causing a denial of service via crafted X…

Expat through 2.8.3 contains a denial of service vulnerability caused by quadratic algorithmic complexity in the storeAtts() function in xmlparse.c, where processing N specified attributes with non-normalized values trig…

libexpat before 2.8.2 does not consider XML_TOK_DATA_CHARS in doCdataSection and thus lacks handler call depth tracking for various calls from within handlers in cases of a policy violation.

xmlwf in libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in endDoctypeDecl via NOTATION declarations.

xmlwf in libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in resolveSystemId.

xmlwf in libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow for the output filename when -d outputDir is used.

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in copyString.

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in doProlog that is related to storeEntityValue and entity textLen.

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in XML_ParseBuffer because it lacked a check that was present in XML_Parse.

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in getAttributeId.

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in addBinding.

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in storeAtts.

In libexpat before 2.8.2, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in doProlog in xmlparse.c because scaffold backing array reallocation is mishandled when there is data-structure sharing across parsers.

libexpat before 2.8.2 lacks handler call depth tracking for calls to XML_ResumeParser from within handlers in cases of a policy violation.

libexpat before 2.8.2 lacks handler call depth tracking for calls to XML_GetBuffer, XML_Parse, XML_ParseBuffer, XML_ParserFree, or XML_ParserReset from within handlers in cases of a policy violation.

In libexpat before 2.8.1, the computational complexity of attribute name collision checks allows a denial of service via moderately sized crafted XML input.

libexpat before 2.8.0 uses insufficient entropy, and thus hash flooding can occur via a crafted XML document.

libexpat before 2.7.5 allows a NULL pointer dereference in the function setContext on retry after an earlier ouf-of-memory condition.

libexpat before 2.7.5 allows an infinite loop while parsing DTD content.

libexpat before 2.7.5 allows a NULL pointer dereference with empty external parameter entity content.
