Multiple Critical Security Issues in XML Libraries

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:30:00 EDT

Codenomicon discovered the vulnerabilities in early 2009 as part of the development of a new product for XML testing. When XML libraries were subjected to tests, multiple vulnerabilities were quickly identified in parsing XML data.

The impact of the discovered vulnerabilities varies from denial-of-service attacks to potential execution of malicious code on affected systems. After the vulnerabilities had been found, Codenomicon worked together with CERT-FI (Finnish National Computer Emergency Response Team) to coordinate the remediation of the found issues with the affected vendors. In addition to Sun, Apache, and Python, a few other projects are expected to announce their fixes at a later time.
