The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2009-2416

An XML document with specially-crafted Notation or Enumeration attribute types in a DTD definition leads to the use of a pointers to memory areas which have already been freed.

CVE-2009-2414

Missing checks for the depth of ELEMENT DTD definitions when parsing child content can lead to extensive stack-growth due to a function recursion which can be triggered via a crafted XML document.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.17-14+etch1.

The stable (lenny), testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distribution do not contain libxml anymore but libxml2 for which DSA-1859-1 has been released.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxml packages.");
