+ <p>
+ libxml2 is the XML (eXtended Markup Language) C parser and toolkit
+ initially developed for the Gnome project.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in libxml2:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Andreas Solberg reported that libxml2 does not properly detect
+ recursion during entity expansion in an attribute value
+ (CVE-2008-3281).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A heap-based buffer overflow has been reported in the
+ xmlParseAttValueComplex() function in parser.c (CVE-2008-3529).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Christian Weiske reported that predefined entity definitions in
+ entities are not properly handled (CVE-2008-4409).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Drew Yao of Apple Product Security reported an integer overflow in the
+ xmlBufferResize() function that can lead to an infinite loop
+ (CVE-2008-4225).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Drew Yao of Apple Product Security reported an integer overflow in the
+ xmlSAX2Characters() function leading to a memory corruption
+ (CVE-2008-4226).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a
+ specially crafted XML document with an application using libxml2,
+ possibly resulting in the exeution of arbitrary code or a high CPU and
+ memory consumption.
+ </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/libxml2-2.7.2-r1"</code>
+ </resolution>
