Last modified
CVE-2012-6702 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Expat, when used in a parser that has not called XML_SetHashSalt or passed it a seed of 0, makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via vectors involving use of the srand function.. EPSS estimates a 2.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
