Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2012-6702
DESCRIPTION:
Expat, when used in a parser that has not called XML_SetHashSalt or passed it a seed of 0, could provide weaker than expected security. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using attack vectors involving use of the srand function to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms.
CVSS Base Score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/114541 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2016-5300
DESCRIPTION:
Expat XML parser is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to use sufficient entropy for hash initialization. By using a specially-crafted identifiers in an XML document, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/114435 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)


CVEID: CVE-2012-0876
DESCRIPTION:
Expat is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by insufficient randomization of hash data structures. By sending multiple specially-crafted HTTP POST requests to an affected application containing conflicting hash key values, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the consumption of CPU resources.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/73868 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)

CVEID: CVE-2012-1147
DESCRIPTION:
Expat is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a resource leak in readfilemap.c when handling XML data. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application using the vulnerable XML parsing library to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/73866 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)

CVEID: CVE-2012-1148
DESCRIPTION:
Expat is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory leak in poolGrow when handling XML data. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application using the vulnerable XML parsing library to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5
