3. Description:

 

Expat is a C library for parsing XML documents.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way Expat processed certain

input. A remote attacker could send specially crafted XML that, when parsed

by an application using the Expat library, would cause that application to

crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the permission of the user

running the application. (CVE-2016-0718)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Gustavo Grieco for reporting this issue.

 

4. Solution:

 

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes

described in this advisory, refer to:

 

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

 

After installing the updated packages, applications using the Expat library

must be restarted for the update to take effect.

 

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

1296102 - CVE-2016-0718 expat: Out-of-bounds heap read on crafted input causing crash
