"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2012-10:01 advisory.

    This library allows to manipulate XML files. It includes support to read, modify and write XML and HTML
    files. There is DTDs support this includes parsing and validation even with complex DtDs, either at parse
    time or later once the document has been modified. The output can be a simple SAX stream or and in-memory
    DOM like representations. In this case one can use the built-in XPath and XPointer implementation to
    select subnodes or ranges. A flexible Input/Output mechanism is available, with existing HTTP and FTP
    modules and combined to an URI library.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2010-4008
    libxml2 before 2.7.8, as used in Google Chrome before 7.0.517.44, Apple Safari 5.0.2 and earlier, and
    other products, reads from invalid memory locations during processing of malformed XPath expressions,
    which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted
    XML document.
    CVE-2010-4494
    Double free vulnerability in libxml2 2.7.8 and other versions, as used in Google Chrome before 8.0.552.215
    and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via vectors related to XPath handling.
    CVE-2011-0216
    Off-by-one error in libxml in Apple Safari before 5.0.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
    or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted web site.
    CVE-2011-1944
    Integer overflow in xpath.c in libxml2 2.6.x through 2.6.32 and 2.7.x through 2.7.8, and libxml 1.8.16 and
    earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute
    arbitrary code via a crafted XML file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow when adding a new
    namespace node, related to handling of XPath expressions.
    CVE-2011-2821
    Double free vulnerability in libxml2, as used in Google Chrome before 13.0.782.215, allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted XPath
    expression.
    CVE-2011-2834
    Double free vulnerability in libxml2, as used in Google Chrome before 14.0.835.163, allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to
    XPath handling.
