NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream expat package and not the expat package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5, an attacker can trigger stack exhaustion in build_model via a large nesting depth in the DTD element.
