Chromium: Vulnerability reported in expat |
||||||||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionAutomated analysis has detected that the following third party packages have had vulnerabilities publicly reported. NOTE: There may be several bugs listed below - in almost all cases, all bugs can be quickly addressed by upgrading to the latest version of the package. Package Name: expat Package Version: [cpe:/a:libexpat:expat:2.1.0] Advisory: CVE-2012-6702 Details: https://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2012-6702 CVSS severity score: 4.3/10.0 Confidence: high Description: Expat, when used in a parser that has not called XML_SetHashSalt or passed it a seed of 0, makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via vectors involving use of the srand function. Advisory: CVE-2016-0718 Details: https://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2016-0718 CVSS severity score: 7.5/10.0 Confidence: high Description: Expat allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed input document, which triggers a buffer overflow. Advisory: CVE-2016-5300 Details: https://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2016-5300 CVSS severity score: 7.8/10.0 Confidence: high Description: The XML parser in Expat does not use sufficient entropy for hash initialization, which allows 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.

Issue 735752 has us rolled to expat 2.2.3 for M63. From my reading of https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/master/expat/Changes, I believe all of these are addressed.
