corresponding updates for XML-RPC for C and C++. Both issues described in the
original advisory affected XML-RPC for C and C++ in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 11.04,
11.10 and 12.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that Expat computed hash values without restricting the
 ability to trigger hash collisions predictably. If a user or application
 linked against Expat were tricked into opening a crafted XML file, an attacker
 could cause a denial of service by consuming excessive CPU resources.
 (CVE-2012-0876)

 Tim Body discovered that Expat did not properly handle memory reallocation
 when processing XML files. If a user or application linked against Expat were
 tricked into opening a crafted XML file, an attacker could cause a denial of
 service by consuming excessive memory resources. This issue only affected
 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 10.04 LTS, 11.04 and 11.10. (CVE-2012-1148)");
