CVE-2008-4409

Publication date 3 October 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

libxml2 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 does not properly handle "predefined entities definitions" in entities, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and application crash), as demonstrated by use of xmllint on a certain XML document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-1564 and CVE-2008-3281.
