CVE-2016-4472 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 expat.
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:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The overflow protection in Expat is removed by compilers with certain optimization settings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted XML data. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-1283 and CVE-2015-2716.
