AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Rauli Kaksonen, Tero Rontti and Jukka Taimisto discovered several
vulnerabilities in libxml, a library for parsing and handling XML data
files, which can lead to denial of service conditions or possibly arbitrary
code execution in the application using the library. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.8.17-14+etch1.
The stable (lenny), testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distribution
do not contain libxml anymore but libxml2 for which DSA-1859-1 has been
released.
We recommend that you upgrade your libxml packages.
