    October 28, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : expat
    Vulnerability : denial of service
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2009-2625
    Debian Bug : 551936


    Peter Valchev discovered an error in expat, an XML parsing C library,
    when parsing certain UTF-8 sequences, which can be exploited to crash an application using the library.

    For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.95.8-3.4+etch1.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.0.1-4+lenny1.

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


    We recommend that you upgrade your expat packages.


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

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

    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
