MSRC_CVE-2013-0340

Vulnerability from csaf_microsoft - Published: 2014-01-02 00:00 - Updated: 2021-12-01 00:00
Summary
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 issue lies with application developers; according to this argument this entry should be REJECTed and each affected application would need its own CVE.
