RHSA-2024:4259 - Moderate: xmlrpc-c security and bug fix update
Synopsis
Moderate: xmlrpc-c security and bug fix 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: parsing large tokens can trigger a denial of service (CVE-2023-52425)
