    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1953-2 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Stefan Fritsch December 31, 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 561658

    The expat updates released in DSA-1953-1 caused a regression: In some
    cases, expat would abort with the message "error in processing external
    entity reference".

    For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.95.8-3.4+etch3.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.0.1-4+lenny3.

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

    We recommend that you upgrade your expat packages.

    For reference, the original advisory text is provided below.

    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.

    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)
    - -------------------------------------------

    Oldstable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
