Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Memory corruption
EUVDB-ID: #VU9687
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 5.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9047
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the xmlSnprintfElementContent function of XMLSoft libxml2 due to improper memory handling by the valid.c source code. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted XML file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
