    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1923-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde October 27th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : libhtml-parser-perl
    Vulnerability : denial of service
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian bug : #552531
    CVE ID : CVE-2009-3627

    A denial of service vulnerability has been found in libhtml-parser-perl,
    a collection of modules to parse HTML in text documents which is used by several other projects like e.g. SpamAssassin.

    Mark Martinec discovered that the decode_entities() function will get stuck
    in an infinite loop when parsing certain HTML entities with invalid UTF-8 characters. An attacker can use this to perform denial of service attacks
    by submitting crafted HTML to an application using this functionality.


    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.55-1+etch1.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.56-1+lenny1.

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


    We recommend that you upgrade your libhtml-parser-perl 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.
