openSUSE Security Update: Security update for expat ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-SU-2017:0483-1 Rating: moderate References: #983215 #983216 Cross-References: CVE-2012-6702 CVE-2016-5300 Affected Products: openSUSE Leap 42.2 openSUSE Leap 42.1 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available. Description: This update for expat fixes the following security issues: - CVE-2012-6702: Expat, when used in a parser that has not called XML_SetHashSalt or passed it a seed of 0, made it easier for context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via vectors involving use of the srand function. (bsc#983215) - CVE-2016-5300: The XML parser in Expat did not use sufficient entropy for hash initialization, which allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted identifiers in an XML document. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-0876. (bsc#983216) This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.
