CVE-2012-3363: Debian Linux

Critical severity, CVSS 9.1. EPSS: 50.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Zend_XmlRpc in Zend Framework 1.x before 1.11.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.0 does not properly handle SimpleXMLElement classes, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or create TCP connections via an external entity reference in a DOCTYPE element in an XML-RPC request, aka an XML external entity (XXE) injection attack.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 6.0 only
• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 17 only; version 18 only
• Zend Zend Framework: from 1.0.0, before 1.11.12 (fixed in 1.11.12); version 1.12.0 only
