security advisoryupdatebuffer overflowDebian: DLA-1008-1 Moderate: Libxml2 Heap Over-Read Warning
CVE-2017-7375 Missing validation for external entities in xmlParsePEReference CVE-2017-9047 . Hash: SHA512 Package : libxml2 Version : 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+wheezy8 CVE ID : CVE-2017-7375 CVE-2017-9047 CVE-2017-9048 CVE-2017-9049 CVE-2017-9050 CVE-2017-7375 Missing validation for external entities in xmlParsePEReference CVE-2017-9047 CVE-2017-9048 A buffer overflow was discovered in libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801. The function xmlSnprintfElementContent in valid.c is supposed to recursively dump the element content definition into a char buffer 'buf' of size 'size'. The variable len is assigned strlen(buf). If the content-> type is XML_ELEMENT_CONTENT_ELEMENT, then (i) the content-> prefix is appended to buf (if it actually fits) whereupon (ii) content-> name is written to the buffer. However, the check for whether the content-> name actually fits also uses 'len' rather than the updated buffer length strlen(buf). This allows us to write about "size" many bytes beyond the allocated memory. This vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash. CVE-2017-9049 CVE-2017-9050 libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in the xmlDictComputeFastKey function in dict.c. This vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash. This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for libxml2 Bug 759398. For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+wheezy8. We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages. Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS .

security advisoryFedoracritical fixFedora 22: 2016-250042b8a6 Critical: XStream External Entity Issue
Security fix for CVE-2016-3674. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2016-250042b8a6 2016-04-26 16:44:25.072543 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : xstream Product : Fedora 22 Version : 1.4.9 Release : 1.fc22 URL : Summary : Java XML serialization library Description : XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. A high level facade is supplied that simplifies common use cases. Custom objects can be serialized without need for specifying mappings. Speed and low memory footprint are a crucial part of the design, making it suitable for large object graphs or systems with high message throughput. No information is duplicated that can be obtained via reflection. This results in XML that is easier to read for humans and more compact than native Java serialization. XStream serializes internal fields, including private and final. Supports non-public and inner classes. Classes are not required to have default constructor. Duplicate references encountered in the object-model will be maintained. Supports circular references. By implementing an interface, XStream can serialize directly to/from any tree structure (not just XML). Strategies can be registered allowing customization of how particular types are represented as XML. When an exception occurs due to malformed XML, detailed diagnostics are provided to help isolate and fix the problem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Security fix for CVE-2016-3674 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1321789 - CVE-2016-3674 XStream: enabled processing of external entities https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1321789 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum"update program. Use su -c 'yum update xstream' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at . All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key. More details on the GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ package-announce mailing list
