Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Uncontrolled Recursion
EUVDB-ID: #VU89736
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3627
CWE-ID:
CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability occurs when xmlStringGetNodeList function in tree.c in libxml2 used in recovery mode. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (infinite recursion, stack consumption, and application crash) via a crafted XML document.
