The remote host is missing an update for the 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the USN-1016-1 advisory. Bui Quang Minh discovered that libxml2 did not properly process XPath namespaces and attributes. If an application using libxml2 opened a specially crafted XML file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute code as the user invoking the program. Please install the updated package(s)
