"Alberto Garcia, Francisco Oca and Suleman Ali of Offensive Research
discovered that the Xerces-C XML parser mishandles certain kinds of
external DTD references, resulting in dereference of a NULL pointer
while processing the path to the DTD. The bug allows for a denial of
service attack in applications that allow DTD processing and do not
prevent external DTD usage, and could conceivably result in remote
code execution.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
3.1.1-3+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your xerces-c packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
