Descriptions

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.

El intérprete XML en Expat no utiliza suficiente entropía para inicialización hash, lo que permite a atacantes dependientes del contexto provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de CPU) a través de identificadores manipulados en un documento XML. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta para CVE-2012-0876.
