Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Expat versions prior to 2.4.3
Description
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the
build model function in xmlparse.c of the Expat library. This could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system by persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file. The exploitation of this issue may enable an attacker to run arbitrary code.Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.4.3, update to version 2.4.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
build model function in xmlparse.c until a patch is available. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
