- libxmltok - XML Parser Toolkit, runtime libraries
Details
Tim Boddy discovered that Expat, contained within the xmltok library, did
not properly handle memory reallocation when processing XML files. If a
user or application linked against Expat were tricked into opening a
crafted XML file, an attacker could cause a denial of service by consuming
excessive memory resources.
