Recent articles detail exploits for two CVEs: CVE-2016-4463 and CVE-2017-2636. The first exploit targets Xerces versions 3.1.3 and below, with indications that Java OpenSAML may also be vulnerable. The second exploit provides a workaround to blacklist the `n_hdlc` module on Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 and 7, including CentOS and CloudLinux. The CVE-2016-4463 exploit was intended for submission to Exploit-DB but lacks testing due to the absence of reliable applications. CVE-2017-2636 was published on March 7, 2017, with a public proof-of-concept released shortly after. Both vulnerabilities could pose risks to systems still running affected versions, necessitating immediate attention from security professionals.
