    Package : libxml2
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem type : local (remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian Bug : 628537

    Chris Evans discovered that libxml was vulnerable to buffer overflows,
    which allowed a crafted XML input file to potentially execute arbitrary
    code.

    For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny4.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.7.8.dfsg-3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.
