Synopsis: Important: libxml2 security update Advisory ID: SLSA-2016:1292-1 Issue Date: 2016-06-23 CVE Numbers: CVE-2016-3627 CVE-2016-3705 CVE-2016-1833 CVE-2016-4447 CVE-2016-1835 CVE-2016-1837 CVE-2016-4448 CVE-2016-4449 CVE-2016-1836 CVE-2016-1839 CVE-2016-1838 CVE-2016-1840 CVE-2016-1834 CVE-2016-1762 -- Security Fix(es): A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libxml2 parsed certain crafted XML input. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application. (CVE-2016-1834, CVE-2016-1840) Multiple denial of service flaws were found in libxml2. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when processed by an application using libxml2, could cause that application to crash.
