CVE-2016-0729 [CRITICAL] CWE-120 xerces-c: parser crashes on malformed input
xerces-c: parser crashes on malformed input
Multiple buffer overflows in (1) internal/XMLReader.cpp, (2) util/XMLURL.cpp, and (3) util/XMLUri.cpp in the XML Parser library in Apache Xerces-C before 3.1.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault or memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted document.
It was discovered that the Xerces-C XML parser did not properly process certain XML input. By providing specially crafted XML data to an application using Xerces-C for XML processing, a remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause an application crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application.

CVE-2016-0729 [CRITICAL] CVE-2016-0729 xerces-c: parser crashes on malformed input
CVE-2016-0729 xerces-c: parser crashes on malformed input
The Xerces-C XML parser mishandles certain kinds of malformed
input documents, resulting in buffer overlows during processing and error
reporting. The overflows can manifest as a segmentation fault or as memory
corruption during a parse operation. The bugs allow for a denial of service
attack in many applications by an unauthenticated attacker, and could
conceivably result in remote code execution.
