+ <title>libxml2: Remotely exploitable buffer overflow</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ libxml2 contains multiple buffer overflows which could lead to the
+ execution of arbitrary code.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ libxml2 is an XML parsing library written in C.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple buffer overflows have been detected in the nanoftp and nanohttp
+ modules. These modules are responsible for parsing URLs with ftp
+ information, and resolving names via DNS.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could exploit an application that uses libxml2 by forcing it to
+ parse a specially-crafted XML file, potentially causing remote execution of
+ arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libxml2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.15"</code>
+ </resolution>
