The remote host is missing an update for the 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the USN-3424-1 advisory. It was discovered that a type confusion error existed in libxml2. An attacker could use this to specially construct XML data that could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that libxml2 did not properly validate parsed entity references. An attacker could use this to specially construct XML data that could expose sensitive information. A buffer overflow existed in libxml2 when handling HTTP redirects. An attacker could use this to specially construct XML data that could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. A buffer overflow in libxml2 when handling elements was discovered. An attacker could use this to specially construct XML data that could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. A buffer overread in libxml2 when handling elements was discovered. An attacker could use this to specially construct XML data that could cause a denial of service. Multiple buffer overreads in libxml2 when handling parameter-entity references were discovered. An attacker could use these to specially construct XML data that could cause a denial of service
