Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that libxml2 would load XML external entities by default.
 If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
 document, an attacker could possibly obtain access to arbitrary files or
 cause resource consumption. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS,
 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 12.10. (CVE-2013-0339)

 It was discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled documents that end
 abruptly. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a
 specially crafted document, an attacker could possibly cause libxml2 to
 crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-2877)");

  script_tag(name:"affected", value:"'libxml2' package(s) on Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.04.");

  script_tag(name:"solution", value:"Please install the updated package(s).");
