"A vulnerability has been found and corrected in xerces-c :

Stack consumption vulnerability in validators/DTD/DTDScanner.cpp in
Apache Xerces C++ 2.7.0 and 2.8.0 allows context-dependent attackers
to cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving
nested parentheses and invalid byte values in simply nested DTD
structures, as demonstrated by the Codenomicon XML fuzzing framework
(CVE-2009-1885).

This update provides a solution to this vulnerability.

Update :

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers"
