Package : expat

CVE ID : CVE-2016-0718

Gustavo Grieco discovered that Expat, an XML parsing C library, does not

properly handle certain kinds of malformed input documents, resulting in

buffer overflows during processing and error reporting. A remote

attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause an application using

the Expat library to crash, or potentially, to execute arbitrary code

with the privileges of the user running the application.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in

version 2.1.0-6+deb8u2. Additionally this update refreshes the fix for

CVE-2015-1283 to avoid relying on undefined behavior.

We recommend that you upgrade your expat packages.
