| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'expat' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2019-1698 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
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-2016-5300)
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-2016-4472)
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-2015-1283)
Affected Software/OS:
'expat' package(s) on Huawei EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 3.0.2.0.
Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
CVSS Score:
