OESA-2022-1521 (CVE-2021-42260)

Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2022-02-11 11:04 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:04 – Source website

Summary

tinyxml security update

Details

TinyXML parses an XML document, and builds from that a Document Object Model (DOM) that can be read, modified, and saved. XML is a very structured and convenient format. All those random file formats created to store application data can all be replaced with XML. One parser for everything.

Security Fix(es):

TinyXML through 2.6.2 has an infinite loop in TiXmlParsingData::Stamp in tinyxmlparser.cpp via the TIXML_UTF_LEAD_0 case. It can be triggered by a crafted XML message and leads to a denial of service.(CVE-2021-42260)

Severity

7.5 (High)
