    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1953-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Stefan Fritsch December 15, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : expat
    Vulnerability : denial of service
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2009-3560
    Debian Bug : 560901

    Jan Lieskovsky 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+etch2.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.0.1-4+lenny2.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), this problem will be in version 2.0.1-6.


    The builds for the mipsel architecture for the old stable distribution
    are not included yet. They will be released when they become available.

    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.

    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
    will install corrected packages

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


    Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch (oldstable)
