| Doc Text: |
A null pointer dereference flaw has been discovered in libexpat. The function `XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate` failed to copy the encoding handler data passed to XML_SetUnknownEncodingHandler from the parent to the new subparser. This can cause a NULL dereference from external entities that declare use of an unknown encoding. The expected impact is denial of service. It takes use of both functions `XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate` and `XML_SetUnknownEncodingHandler` for an application to be vulnerable.
