Descriptions

libxml2, as used in Red Hat JBoss Core Services, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted XML document. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a missing fix for CVE-2016-4483.

libxml2, tal y como se usa en Red Hat JBoss Core Services, permite que los atacantes dependientes de contexto provoquen una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de límites y cierre inesperado de la aplicación) mediante un documento XML. NOTA: Esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a la ausencia de una solución para CVE-2016-4483.
