Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0016-01

Posted Jan 12, 2012

Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0016-01 - The libxml2 library is a development toolbox providing the implementation of various XML standards. One of those standards is the XML Path Language, which is a language for addressing parts of an XML document. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libxml2 decoded entity references with long names. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
