Synopsis:          Important: xerces-c security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2016:0430-1
Issue Date:        2016-03-10
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2016-0729
--

It was discovered that the Xerces-C XML parser did not properly process
certain XML input. By providing specially crafted XML data to an
application using Xerces-C for XML processing, a remote attacker could
exploit this flaw to cause an application crash or, possibly, execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the application. (CVE-2016-0729)

After installing the update, all applications using Xerces-C must be
restarted for the update to take effect.
