RHSA-2022:7692 - Moderate: xmlrpc-c security update

Synopsis

Moderate: xmlrpc-c security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory Moderate

Topic

An update for xmlrpc-c is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Description

XML-RPC is a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol that uses XML to encode its calls and HTTP as a transport mechanism. The xmlrpc-c packages provide a network protocol to allow a client program to make a simple RPC (remote procedure call) over the Internet. It converts an RPC into an XML document, sends it to a remote server using HTTP, and gets back the response in XML.

Security Fix(es):

• expat: Integer overflow in doProlog in xmlparse.c (CVE-2021-46143)

• expat: Integer overflow in addBinding in xmlparse.c (CVE-2022-22822)
