Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-023
Posted Feb 23, 2012

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-023 - It was found that the hashing routine used by libxml2 arrays was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. Sending a specially-crafted message to an XML service could result in longer processing time, which could lead to a denial of service. To mitigate this issue, randomization has been added to the hashing function to reduce the chance of an attacker successfully causing intentional collisions. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in libxml2:

It was found that the hashing routine used by libxml2 arrays was
susceptible to predictable hash collisions. Sending a specially-crafted
message to an XML service could result in longer processing time,
which could lead to a denial of service. To mitigate this issue,
randomization has been added to the hashing function to reduce the
chance of an attacker successfully causing intentional collisions
(CVE-2012-0841).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
