Category:	F5 Local Security Checks
Title:	F5 BIG-IP - Expat vulnerabilities CVE-2012-0876 and CVE-2012-1148
Summary:	The remote host is missing a security patch.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing a security patch. Vulnerability Insight: The XML parser (xmlparse.c) in expat before 2.1.0 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via an XML file with many identifiers with the same value.Memory leak in the poolGrow function in expat/lib/xmlparse.c in expat before 2.1.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of crafted XML files that cause improperly-handled reallocation failures when expanding entities. Vulnerability Impact: These vulnerabilities allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) (CPU and/or memory consumption) by way of XML files. Solution: See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
