CVE-2009-2473

Publication date 21 August 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

neon before 0.28.6, when expat is used, does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.
