Re: CVE requested: two stack exhaustation parsing xml files using mxml

Hash: SHA256

We found two stack exhaustion conditions that can easily crash mxml
when parsing an xml.

(The two example XML documents seem dissimilar. For example,
stack-exhaustion-2.xml starts with "<?xml" whereas
stack-exhaustion-1.xml does not.)


Recursion using mxmlDelete at mxml-node.c:217 (stack-exhaustion-1.xml)

Use CVE-2016-4570.


Recursion using mxml_write_node at mxml-file.c:2739 (stack-exhaustion-2.xml)

Use CVE-2016-4571.
