CVE-2017-9233 3 Debian, Libexpat Project, Python 3 Debian Linux, Libexpat, Python 2025-04-20 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
XML External Entity vulnerability in libexpat 2.2.0 and earlier (Expat XML Parser Library) allows attackers to put the parser in an infinite loop using a malformed external entity definition from an external DTD.
CVE-2017-11742 2 Libexpat Project, Microsoft 2 Libexpat, Windows 2025-04-20 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
The writeRandomBytes_RtlGenRandom function in xmlparse.c in libexpat in Expat 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 on Windows allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse ADVAPI32.DLL in the current working directory because of an untrusted search path, aka DLL hijacking.
CVE-2015-1283 8 Canonical, Debian, Google and 5 more 13 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Chrome and 10 more 2025-04-12 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
Multiple integer overflows in the XML_GetBuffer function in Expat through 2.1.0, as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 and other products, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted XML data, a related issue to CVE-2015-2716.
CVE-2012-6702 4 Canonical, Debian, Google and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Android and 1 more 2025-04-12 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
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.
CVE-2016-4472 4 Canonical, Libexpat Project, Mcafee and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Libexpat, Policy Auditor and 1 more 2025-04-12 6.8 MEDIUM 8.1 HIGH
The overflow protection in Expat is removed by compilers with certain optimization settings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted XML data. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-1283 and CVE-2015-2716.
CVE-2016-5300 4 Canonical, Debian, Google and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Android and 1 more 2025-04-12 7.8 HIGH 7.5 HIGH
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.
CVE-2016-0718 9 Apple, Canonical, Debian and 6 more 14 Mac Os X, Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux and 11 more 2025-04-12 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
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.
