- ------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : libxml2
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-3529
Debian Bug     : 498768

It was discovered that libxml2, the GNOME XML library, didn't correctly
handle long entity names.  This could allow the execution of arbitrary
code via a malicious XML file.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
2.6.27.dfsg-5.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.32.dfsg-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 package.
