- CVEs with nessus.description==This update for expat fixes the following security issues :
- CVE-2012-6702: Expat, when used in a parser that has not
called XML_SetHashSalt or passed it a seed of 0, made it
easier for context-dependent attackers to defeat
cryptographic protection mechanisms via vectors
involving use of the srand function. (bsc#983215)
- CVE-2016-5300: The XML parser in Expat did not use
sufficient entropy for hash initialization, which
allowed 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. (bsc#983216)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues.
