The remote host is missing an update for the 'xerces-c' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Xerces-C is a validating XML parser written in a portable subset of C++. A flaw was found in the way the Xerces-C XML parser processed certain XML documents. A remote attacker could provide specially crafted XML input that, when parsed by an application using Xerces-C, would cause that application to crash. (CVE-2015-0252) All xerces-c users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue
