Description Jan Lieskovsky 2012-02-16 16:46:58 UTC
A XML External Entity (XXE) flaw was found in the way raptor, an Resource Description Framework (RDF) parser toolkit, processed certain RDF/XML format based input files. If an attacker provided a specially-crafted RDF file, and tricked the local user into parsing it, it could lead to local file inclusion, or, potentially arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user parsing the file (privileges of the "rapper" executable or privileges of an application, linked against the librdf library).
