    Package : xerces-c
    CVE ID : CVE-2016-0729
    Debian Bug : 815907

    Gustavo Grieco discovered that xerces-c, a validating XML parser library
    for C++, mishandles certain kinds of malformed input documents,
    resulting in buffer overflows during processing and error reporting.
    These flaws could lead to a denial of service in applications using the xerces-c library, or potentially, to the execution of arbitrary code.

    For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed
    in version 3.1.1-3+deb7u2.

    For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.1.1-5.1+deb8u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your xerces-c packages.
