Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:212

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : libxml2

Date : October 15, 2008

Affected: 2009.0

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

libxml2 version 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 did not properly handle predefined

entities definitions in entities, which allowed context-dependent

attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and

application crash) via certain XML documents (CVE-2008-4409).

 

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.
