| Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
The host is installed with Google Chrome before 23.0.1271.91 and is prone to heap-based buffer underflow vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle the xmlParseAttValueComplex function in parser.c in libxml2. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted entities in an XML document.
