There are 3 open security issues in bookworm.
2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
- CVE-2023-52425:
(needs triaging)
libexpat through 2.5.0 allows a denial of service (resource consumption) because many full reparsings are required in the case of a large token for which multiple buffer fills are needed.
- CVE-2024-50602:
(needs triaging)
An issue was discovered in libexpat before 2.6.4. There is a crash within the XML_ResumeParser function because XML_StopParser can stop/suspend an unstarted parser.
You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
1 ignored issue:
- CVE-2024-8176:
A stack overflow vulnerability exists in the libexpat library due to the way it handles recursive entity expansion in XML documents. When parsing an XML document with deeply nested entity references, libexpat can be forced to recurse indefinitely, exhausting the stack space and causing a crash. This issue could lead to denial of service (DoS) or, in some cases, exploitable memory corruption, depending on the environment and library usage.
