After I sent the previous message, I realized that there may be more to what component these CVEs are against. CVE-2012-0037 was against "Redland Raptor (aka libraptor) before 2.0.7, as used by OpenOffice 3.3 and 3.4 Beta, LibreOffice before 3.4.6 and 3.5.x before 3.5.1, and other products, allows user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted XML external entity (XXE) declaration and reference in an RDF document." ... and this very description explains why it scored lower - it was for specific common uses of the Raptor library. Specifying that user interaction is required was reasonable in context of needing to load a file into a desktop application. Now that the issue was instead addressed in libxml2, the CVSS vector may be different because that library is used in many more places and ways. A relevant question (to those more familiar with this than I am) would be whether affected uses other than by Raptor likely exist (and are likely addressed by the same change in libxml2) and where/what they are. Ditto about uses of Raptor other than by those desktop office projects. On Wed, Dec 25, 2024 at 06:04:22PM -0500, Demi Marie Obenour wrote:
