CVE-2009-1955

The expat XML parser in the apr_xml_* interface in xml/apr_xml.c in Apache APR-util before 1.3.7, as used in the mod_dav and mod_dav_svn modules in the Apache HTTP Server, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, as demonstrated by a PROPFIND request, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.

El parseador XML en el interfaz apr_xml_* en xml/apr_xml.c en Apache APR-util anteriores a v1.3.7 tal y como es utilizado en los módulos mod_dav y mod_dav_svn en el servidor HTTP de Apache, permite a atacantes remotos producir una denegación de servicio (agotamiento de memoria) a través de un documento XML manipulado que contiene un gran numero de referencias anidadas, como se demostró en la petición PROPFIND, una vulnerabilidad similar a CVE-2003-1564.
