[UPDATE] [mittel] expat: Schwachstelle ermöglicht Codeausführung
An integer-overflow flaw in the expat XML parser can be chained to achieve code execution — a significant risk given expat's deep embedding in Linux toolchains and container base images.
Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below
Ein lokaler Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in expat ausnutzen, um einen Integer-Überlauf auszulösen, der weitere Angriffe ermöglicht, darunter Codeausführung, Offenlegung von Informationen, Speicherbeschädigung und Denial-of-Service.
Editorial Analysis
Expat is silently present in most Linux-based build and runtime environments; an exploitable integer overflow can compromise CI/CD pipelines and production containers alike.
Identify all expat instances via SBOM tooling across container images and development environments, then apply the latest patches.
