Synopsis:	Important: libxml2 security update
Issue date:	2008-09-11
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-3529

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libxml2 handled long
XML entity names. If an application linked against libxml2 processed
untrusted malformed XML content, it could cause the application to crash
or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-3529)
