libexpat.so is vulnerable to denial of service. The vulnerability exists due to the integer overflow in the XML_GetBuffer function of xmlparse.c. as it does not properly check INT_MAX byte length against the XML_CONTEXT_BYTES, allowing an attacker to cause an application crash through the configuration with a nonzero XML_CONTEXT_BYTES.
