TITLE

libxml2  of  xmlreader  Service operation interruption in  (DoS)  Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

The xmlreader in libxml allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XML data, related to an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack. Libxml2 is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. It supports multiple encoding formats, XPath analysis, Well-formed and valid verification, etc. xmlreader is one of the components used to read XML. A security vulnerability exists in libxml's xmlreader component. Alternatively, you may manually check for software updates by selecting "Settings -> System -> Software Update -> Update Software.". To check the current version of software, select "Settings -> General -> About". -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 APPLE-SA-2016-03-21-2 watchOS 2.2 watchOS 2.2 is now available and addresses the following: Disk Images Available for: Apple Watch Sport, Apple Watch, Apple Watch Edition, and Apple Watch Hermes Impact: An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges Description: A memory corruption issue existed in the parsing of disk images.

Description: The libxml2 library is a development toolbox providing the implementation of various XML standards. Several denial of service flaws were found in libxml2, a library providing support for reading, modifying, and writing XML and HTML files. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML or HTML file that, when processed by an application using libxml2, would cause that application to use an excessive amount of CPU, leak potentially sensitive information, or in certain cases crash the application.
