Tracker summary

CVE-2014-3660 severity moderate: SUSE including 352 source package names (amazon/suse-sles-15-sp1-chost-byos-v20210304-hvm-ssd-x86_64, amazon/suse-sles-15-sp1-chost-byos-v20220127-hvm-ssd-x86_64, …), 487 product×package rows across 68 product lines (HPE Helion OpenStack 8, SUSE Liberty Linux 7, … (68 product lines)): Fixed 257, Known Affected 157, Known Not Affected 73.

Description:

parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.2 does not properly prevent entity expansion even when entity substitution has been disabled, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, a variant of the "billion laughs" attack.
