Category:	Denial of Service
Title:	Python < 2.7.14, 3.3.x < 3.3.7, 3.4.x < 3.4.7, 3.5.x < 3.5.4, 3.6.x < 3.6.2 Expat 2.2.1 (bpo-30694) - Linux
Summary:	'Expat' in Python is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.
Description:	Summary: 'Expat' in Python is prone to multiple vulnerabilities. Vulnerability Insight: The following vulnerabilities exist: - CVE-2012-0876: The XML parser (xmlparse.c) in expat 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-2016-0718: 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-2016-9063: An integer overflow during the parsing of XML using the Expat library. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50. - CVE-2017-9233: 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. Affected Software/OS: Python prior to version 2.7.14, versions 3.3.x prior to 3.3.7, 3.4.x prior to 3.4.7, 3.5.x prior to 3.5.4 and 3.6.x prior to 3.6.2. Solution: Update to version 2.7.14, 3.3.7, 3.4.7, 3.5.4, 3.6.2 or later. CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
