    Package : libxml2
    CVE ID : CVE-2016-4658 CVE-2016-5131
    Debian Bug : 840553 840554

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libxml2, a library providing
    support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. A remote attacker
    could provide a specially crafted XML or HTML file that, when processed
    by an application using libxml2, would cause a denial-of-service against
    the application, or potentially, the execution of arbitrary code with
    the privileges of the user running the application.

    For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.9.1+dfsg1-5+deb8u4.

    For the testing distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed
    in version 2.9.4+dfsg1-2.1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.9.4+dfsg1-2.1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.
