CVE-2006-10002
CVSS v3.1
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
XML::Parser versions through 2.47
Description
The software may experience a buffer overflow due to the pre-allocated buffer size being exceeded. This can lead to heap corruption, potentially resulting in a double free or other forms of corruption, and ultimately causing crashes. A PerlIO :utf8 layer, specifically the
parse stream() function within Expat.xs, is susceptible to this issue. The problem arises because Perl’s read() function returns decoded characters, while SvPV() returns multi-byte UTF-8 bytes, which can exceed the buffer’s capacity.Recommendations
Update to a version of XML::Parser greater than 2.47.
Fix
Heap Based Buffer Overflow
