Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-09-05 06:52:55 UTC 
The libexpat library is vulnerable to a stack overflow due to uncontrolled recursion when processing deeply nested XML entities. This can cause the application to crash, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) or potentially leading to memory corruption, depending on the user's environment and how the library is used. The issue is triggered by supplying a specially crafted XML document designed to create a long chain of recursive entities.
