3. Description:
Expat is a C library written by James Clark for parsing XML documents.
Two buffer over-read flaws were found in the way Expat handled malformed
UTF-8 sequences when processing XML files. A specially-crafted XML file
could cause applications using Expat to crash while parsing the file.
(CVE-2009-3560, CVE-2009-3720)
All expat users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the updated
packages, applications using the Expat library must be restarted for the
update to take effect.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
531697 - CVE-2009-3720 expat: buffer over-read and crash on XML with malformed UTF-8 sequences
533174 - CVE-2009-3560 expat: buffer over-read and crash in big2_toUtf8() on XML with malformed UTF-8 sequences
