[slackware-security] libxml2

New libxml2 packages are available for Slackware 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.37,
14.0, and -current to fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/libxml2-2.8.0-i486-2_slack14.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched a heap-based buffer underflow in the xmlParseAttValueComplex
function in parser.c in libxml2 2.9.0 and earlier that could allow a
remote attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute
arbitrary code via crafted entities in an XML document.

(* Security fix *)
