It was discovered that Expat, a C library to parse XML, is vulnerable
to denial of service through hash collisions and a memory leak in
pool handling.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.1-7+squeeze1.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.1.0~beta3-1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.1.0~beta3-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your expat packages.
