An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-7942 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apple Iphone Os. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-7942/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-7942/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-7942","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-7942/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-7942","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-7942","DLA-334-1","ECHO-5af9-e1c6-cbba","GHSA-w76w-8f65-r427","MGASA-2015-0423","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-7942"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XML parsing library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via crafted XML data due to an out-of-bounds read in libxml2's parser.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"iphone_os","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"mac_os_x","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"tvos","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"watchos","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"icewall_federation_agent","vendor":"hp"},{"product":"icewall_file_manager","vendor":"hp"},{"product":"libxml2","vendor":"xmlsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The xmlParseConditionalSections function in parser.c in libxml2 does not properly skip intermediary entities when it stops parsing invalid input, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via crafted XML data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-7941.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7942","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:iphone_os","products":["apple:iphone_os","apple:mac_os_x","apple:tvos","apple:watchos","canonical:ubuntu_linux","debian:debian_linux","xmlsoft:libxml2"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":29,"next":{"headline":"Open redirect in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7943"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7941"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-11-18","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2021-30666","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2021-30761","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2021-30762","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS Webkit Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-4657","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple Multiple Products Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2019-7286","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple iOS Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2019-7287","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple Multiple Products Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2019-8605","kev_date_added":"2022-06-27","published":"2019-12-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via crafted XML data due to an out-of-bounds read in libxml2's parser.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-7942/"}
