Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Exclusive Canonicalization functionality (xsec/canon/XSECC14n20010315.cpp) in Apache Santuario XML Security for C++ (aka xml-security-c) before 1.7.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PrefixList attribute.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica en la funcionalidad Exclusive Canonicalization (xsec/canon/XSECC14n20010315.cpp) en Apache Santuario XML Security para C++ (aka xml-security-c) anterior a 1.7.1 , permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente la ejecución de código arbitrario a través de un atributo PrefixList modificado.

A heap overflow exists in the processing of the PrefixList attribute optionally used in conjunction with Exclusive Canonicalization, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution. If verification of the signature occurs prior to actual evaluation of a signing key, this could be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker. Apache Santuario XML Security for C++ library versions prior to 1.7.1 are affected.
