Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 15.10 - Ubuntu 15.04 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

libxml2 could be made to crash if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - libxml2: GNOME XML library

Details:

It was discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled certain malformed documents. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted document, an attacker could possibly cause libxml2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 15.10:
libxml2 2.9.2+zdfsg1-4ubuntu0.3

Ubuntu 15.04:
libxml2 2.9.2+dfsg1-3ubuntu0.3

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu4.7

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.14

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
