https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-20843
24 Jun 2019 — 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). En libexpat en Expat anterior a versión 2.2.7, una entrada XML incluyendo nombres XML que contienen una gran cantidad de "dos puntos", podría hacer que el analizador XML consuma una gran cantidad de recursos de RAM y CPU durante el procesamiento (lo suficiente como ... • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-07/msg00039.html • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption CWE-611: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference •

30 Jul 2017 — 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. La función writeRandomBytes_RtlGenRandom en el archivo xmlparse.c en libexpat en Expat versiones 2.2.1 y 2.2.2 en Windows, permite a los usuarios locales alcanzar privilegios por medio de una biblioteca de tipo caballo de Troya ADVAPI32.DLL en el d... • http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/100147 • CWE-426: Untrusted Search Path •

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-4472
21 Jun 2016 — 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. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-1283 and CVE-2015-2716.

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-5300
08 Jun 2016 — 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. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-0876.

08 Jun 2016 — 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. Expat, cuando se utiliza en un intérprete que no ha realizado una llamada XML_SetHashSalt o pasado una semilla de 0, facilita a atacantes dependientes del contexto romper mecanismos de protección criptográfica a través de vectores que involucran el uso de la función srand.

21 Jan 2014 — expat 2.1.0 and earlier does not properly handle entities expansion unless an application developer uses the XML_SetEntityDeclHandler 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 expat already provides the ability to disable external entity expansion, the responsibility for resolving this issu... • http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/02/22/3 • CWE-611: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference •

03 Jul 2012 — 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.
