CVE-2024-45490 is an input-validation vulnerability in libexpat before version 2.6.3. The flaw is in xmlparse.c, where XML_ParseBuffer does not reject a negative length value. Improper handling of a negative buffer length during XML parsing can lead to unsafe memory operations and undefined behavior in applications that rely on the library to process attacker-controlled XML data. Downstream vendors have described the issue as capable of causing application termination and, in some affected integrations, arbitrary code execution.
