Fedora 34: FEDORA-2022-abcd12345 Moderate: Expat Buffer Overflow

fedora
Calendar Grey February 11, 2022
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Upgrade to mingw-expat version 2.4.4 addresses a critical integer overflow vulnerability in the XML parser on Fedora 34.
Update to 2.4.4, fixes CVE-2022-23990.

Summary

This is expat, the C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark. Expat

is a stream oriented XML parser. This means that you register handlers with

the parser prior to starting the parse. These handlers are called when the

parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed. A

start tag is an example of the kind of structures for which you may

register handlers.

Update to 2.4.4, fixes CVE-2022-23990.
