NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream spice-client-win package and not the spice-client-win package as distributed by RHEL.

Memory leak in the poolGrow function in expat/lib/xmlparse.c in expat before 2.1.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of crafted XML files that cause improperly-handled reallocation failures when expanding entities.
