An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.
Description:
This update for expat fixes the following security issues:
- CVE-2012-6702: Expat, when used in a parser that has not called
XML_SetHashSalt or passed it a seed of 0, made it easier for
context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection
mechanisms via vectors involving use of the srand function. (bsc#983215)
- CVE-2016-5300: The XML parser in Expat did not use sufficient entropy
for hash initialization, which allowed 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. (bsc#983216)
