Description Silvio Cesare 2010-11-13 22:54:37 UTC

Description of problem:

udinits2 contains an old embedded version of the expat xml parsing library. Code
inspection shows this embedded copy is vulnerable to CVE-2009-3720 and possibly
other issues.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Version: 2.1.11
Release:  1.dc13

Additional info:

The CVE https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531697

Ideally, the best solution is to link in the system expat library and not use
the embedded copy. This would help prevent these types of security issues from
reoccuring.

I have marked this issue as a security issue due to the fact that a CVE was
assigned to expat. I have not investigated how this vulnerability would be
triggered by udunits2.
