CVE-2013-0339 (GCVE-0-2013-0339)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2014-01-21 18:00 – Updated: 2024-08-06 14:25
VLAI?
Summary
libxml2 through 2.9.1 does not properly handle external entities expansion unless an application developer uses the xmlSAX2ResolveEntity or xmlSetExternalEntityLoader function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption), send HTTP requests to intranet servers, or read arbitrary files via a crafted XML document, aka an XML External Entity (XXE) issue. NOTE: it could be argued that because libxml2 already provides the ability to disable external entity expansion, the responsibility for resolving this issue lies with application developers; according to this argument, this entry should be REJECTed and each affected application would need its own CVE.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
