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)
