CVE-2023-52425 is a DoS where extremely large tags can cause significant processing delays. It isn't reasonably possible to backport the fix but while testing the impact it was determined that a large ctags could cause a segmentation fault. That is what is addressed. Resolves: RHEL-24226

Subject: [PATCH] Address segfault found in CVE-2023-52425
|
|
|
|
The CVE addresses a possible DoS when unreasonably large tokens
|
|
are passed into the XML parser for processing. These were taking
|
|
upwards of 8 seconds per file processed with the exception of
|
|
aaaaaa_cdata.xml which caused a segmentation fault. The XML
|
|
processor was effectively losing the start of the string, setting
|
|
it to NULL. This caused a cascade of errors trying to parse both
|
|
the next token and in handling errors if a new token was not found.
|
|
|
|
This handles both those cases but not the underlying reason why
|
|
the pointer to inputStart is lost.
|
|
|
|
Trying to backport the libexpat changes to address the performance
|
|
issue would be enormous since the xmlrpc-c custom version of libexpat
|
|
is extremely old. Since xmlrpc-c is mostly used as a client passing
|
|
in random values is less of an issue.
|
|
|
|
Include the libexpat upstream benchmark test to validate that the
|
|
tests pass, albeit slowly.
|
|
|
|
To run the benchmarks:
|
|
extract the sources
|
|
cd xmlrpc-c-1.51.0
|
|
make
|
|
cd test
|
|
make
|
|
cd benchmark
|
|
for file in *.xml; do ./benchmark $file 4096 1; done
|
|
|
|
One test will error out but this is expected as part of the fix.
|
|
|
|
The tests will be extracted as a Source because of their
|
|
uncompressed size (~48M)
|
|
|
|
Fixes: RHEL-24226
