Debian DLA-373-1 : libxml2 security update

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libxml2, a library providing support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML or HTML file that, when processed by an application using libxml2, would cause that application to use an excessive amount of CPU, leak potentially sensitive information, or crash the application.

CVE-2015-5312: CPU exhaustion when processing specially crafted XML input. CVE-2015-7497: Heap-based buffer overflow in xmlDictComputeFastQKey. CVE-2015-7498: Heap-based buffer overflow in xmlParseXmlDecl. CVE-2015-7499: Heap-based buffer overflow in xmlGROW.
CVE-2015-7500: Heap buffer overflow in xmlParseMisc.

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.
