DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2019-06-24 CVE-2018-20843 XXE vulnerability in multiple products
In libexpat in Expat before 2.2.7, XML input including XML names that contain a large number of colons could make the XML parser consume a high amount of RAM and CPU resources while processing (enough to be usable for denial-of-service attacks).
7.5
2017-07-30 CVE-2017-11742 Untrusted Search Path vulnerability in Libexpat Project Libexpat 2.2.1/2.2.2
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.

4.6
2017-07-25 CVE-2017-9233 Infinite Loop vulnerability in multiple products
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.

libexpat-project python debian CWE-835
7.5
2016-06-30 CVE-2016-4472 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
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.

high complexity
libexpat-project canonical mcafee python CWE-119
8.1
2016-06-16 CVE-2016-5300 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in multiple products
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.
7.5
2016-06-16 CVE-2012-6702 Cryptographic Issues vulnerability in multiple products
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.

high complexity
libexpat-project google canonical debian CWE-310
5.9
2016-05-26 CVE-2016-0718 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
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.
9.8
2012-07-03 CVE-2012-1148 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in multiple products
Memory leak in the poolGrow function in expat/lib/xmlparse.c in expat before 2.1.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of crafted XML files that cause improperly-handled reallocation failures when expanding entities.

libexpat-project apple CWE-399
5.0
2012-07-03 CVE-2012-1147 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
readfilemap.c in expat before 2.1.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption) via a large number of crafted XML files.
4.3
2012-07-03 CVE-2012-0876 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in multiple products
The XML parser (xmlparse.c) in expat before 2.1.0 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via an XML file with many identifiers with the same value.
