"text": "All supported Red Hat offerings are built with the compilation flag (-fstack-clash-protection) which reduces the impact to Moderate. This build configuration blocks the possibility of an attacker gaining arbitrary code execution even if a stack-clash vulnerability, like this one, could be exploited.\n\nThis vulnerability is rated Moderate because Red Hat builds use the `-fstack-clash-protection` compiler flag, which mitigates the risk of arbitrary code execution from stack overflows. While the flaw allows a crash via uncontrolled recursion in XML parsing, the hardened stack layout prevents reliable memory corruption, limiting the impact to a Denial of Service (DoS) scenario.\n\nWithin regulated environments, a combination of the following controls acts as a significant barrier to successfully exploiting a CWE-674: Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability and therefore downgrades the severity of this particular CVE from Moderate to Low.\n\nInput validation controls ensure that inputs triggering recursion are validated to stay within safe limits, which reduces the risk of infinite or excessive recursion. The implementation of least functionality on the platform further restricts potential impacts of recursions by disabling unnecessary recursive functions or features, thus reducing the available pathways for a would-be attacker. The inclusion of developer testing and evaluation ensures that recursive functions are tested and that safeguards like error handling are in place. In the case of successful exploitation, detection and containment controls are in place to limit impacts by alerting on anomalous system behavior in real time, while process isolation can limit impacts to a single process.",

"text": "This issue is Important rather than Critical because, while it allows for significant resource exhaustion leading to denial-of-service (DoS), it does not enable arbitrary code execution, data leakage, or privilege escalation. The vulnerability stems from an uncontrolled memory amplification behavior in libexpat\u2019s parser, where a relatively small XML payload can cause disproportionately large heap allocations. However, the flaw is limited in scope to service disruption and requires the attacker to submit a crafted XML document\u2014something that can be mitigated with proper input validation and memory usage limits. Therefore, while the exploitability is high, the impact is confined to availability, not confidentiality or integrity, making it a high-severity but not critical flaw.\n\nIn Firefox and Thunderbird, where libexpat is a transitive userspace dependency, exploitation usually just crashes the application (app-level DoS), so it is classify as Moderate instead of Important.",

Use OS-level resource controls (like ulimit or setrlimit()) to cap memory usage, or run the parser in a sandboxed or isolated process with strict memory and CPU limits. This helps prevent denial-of-service by containing excessive resource consumption.",
