+ <background>
+ <p>
+ libxml2 is a library to manipulate XML files.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The following vulnerabilities were reported after a test with the
+ Codenomicon XML fuzzing framework:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Two use-after-free vulnerabilities are possible when parsing a XML file
+ with Notation or Enumeration attribute types (CVE-2009-2416).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A stack consumption vulnerability can be triggered via a large depth of
+ element declarations in a DTD, related to a function recursion
+ (CVE-2009-2414).
+ </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
+ resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
+ </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/libxml2-2.7.3-r2"</code>
+ <p>
+ NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
+ available since August 30, 2009. It is likely that your system is
+ already no longer affected by this issue.
