Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libxml2, the worst of which
could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
libxml2 is the XML (eXtended Markup Language) C parser and toolkit
initially developed for the Gnome project.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libxml2. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to process a
specially crafted XML document, possibly resulting in execution of
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of
Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All libxml2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
