NOTE: it could be argued that because expat already provides the ability to disable external entity expansion, the responsibility for resolving this issue lies with application developers; according to this argument, this entry should be REJECTed, and each affected application would need its own CVE." } ] }, "problemtype" : { "problemtype_data" : [ { "description" : [ { "lang" : "eng", "value" : "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references" : { "reference_data" : [ { "name" : "[oss-security] 20130221 CVEs for libxml2 and expat internal and external XML entity expansion", "refsource" : "MLIST", "url" : "http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/02/22/3" }, { "name" : "[oss-security] 20130413 Re-evaluating expat/libxml2 CVE assignments", "refsource" : "MLIST", "url" : "http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/04/12/6" }, { "name" : "GLSA-201701-21", "refsource" : "GENTOO", "url" : "https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201701-21" }, { "name" : "58233", "refsource" : "BID", "url" : "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/58233" }, { "name" : "90634", "refsource" : "OSVDB", "url" : "http://www.osvdb.org/90634" }, { "name" : "1028213", "refsource" : "SECTRACK", "url" : "http://securitytracker.com/id?1028213" } ] } }
