{"id":"ALSA-2025:4048","summary":"Moderate: xmlrpc-c security update","details":"XML-RPC is a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol that uses XML to encode its calls and HTTP as a transport mechanism. The xmlrpc-c packages provide a network protocol to allow a client program to make a simple RPC (remote procedure call) over the Internet. It converts an RPC into an XML document, sends it to a remote server using HTTP, and gets back the response in XML.  \n\nSecurity Fix(es):  \n\n  * libexpat: expat: Improper Restriction of XML Entity Expansion Depth in libexpat (CVE-2024-8176)\n\n\nFor more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.\n","modified":"2026-04-17T13:16:58.310544Z","published":"2025-04-22T00:00:00Z","related":["CVE-2024-8176"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:4048"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-8176"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2310137"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://errata.almalinux.org/8/ALSA-2025-4048.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"xmlrpc-c","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/xmlrpc-c"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.51.0-11.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2025:4048.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xmlrpc-c-c++","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/xmlrpc-c-c%2B%2B"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.51.0-11.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2025:4048.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xmlrpc-c-client","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/xmlrpc-c-client"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.51.0-11.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2025:4048.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xmlrpc-c-client++","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/xmlrpc-c-client%2B%2B"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.51.0-11.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2025:4048.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xmlrpc-c-devel","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/xmlrpc-c-devel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.51.0-11.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2025:4048.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
