The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the DSA-2394-1 advisory. Many security problems have been fixed in libxml2, including a heap-based buffer overflow, an off-by-one error, memory corruption, double free vulnerability, and an out-of-bounds read vulnerability

CVE-2011-3919: Juri Aedla discovered a heap-based buffer overflow that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

CVE-2011-0216: An Off-by-one error have been discovered that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.

CVE-2011-2821: A memory corruption (double free) bug has been identified in libxml2's XPath engine. Through it, it is possible for an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact. This vulnerability does not affect the oldstable distribution (lenny).

CVE-2011-2834: Yang Dingning discovered a double free vulnerability related to XPath handling.

CVE-2011-3905: An out-of-bounds read vulnerability had been discovered, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny5.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze2.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.7.8.dfsg-7.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.7.8.dfsg-7.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.");
