    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1859-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde August 10th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : libxml2
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : local (remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE IDs : CVE-2009-2416 CVE-2009-2414

    Rauli Kaksonen, Tero Rontti and Jukka Taimisto discovered several vulnerabilities in libxml2, 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:

    An XML document with specially-crafted Notation or Enumeration attribute
    types in a DTD definition leads to the use of a pointers to memory areas
    which have already been freed (CVE-2009-2416).

    Missing checks for the depth of ELEMENT DTD definitions when parsing
    child content can lead to extensive stack-growth due to a function
    recursion which can be triggered via a crafted XML document (CVE-2009-2414).


    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.6.27.dfsg-6+etch1.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny1.

    For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distribution, this problem
    will be fixed soon.


    We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
