Detail
| "infamous41md" discovered several buffer overflows in libxml and libxml2, the XML C parser and toolkits for GNOME. Missing boundary checks could cause several buffers to be overflown, which may cause the client to execute arbitrary code. The following vulnerability matrix lists corrected versions of these libraries: For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.17-2woody2 of libxml and in version 2.4.19-4woody2 of libxml2. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.17-9 of libxml and in version 2.6.11-5 of libxml2. These problems have also been fixed in version 2.6.15-1 of libxml2 in the experimental distribution. We recommend that you upgrade your libxml packages. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 11324 | libxml2 Proxy FTP URL Processing Overflow A remote overflow exists in libxml2. libxml2's nanoftp.c xmlNanoFTPScanProxy() function fails to perform boundary checking of user-supplied data that is copied into a finite stack buffer, which could potentially cause a stack-based overflow. Using a specially crafted URL, an attacker can cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity or availability. |
| 11180 | libxml2 DNS Reply Overflows Remote overflows exist in libxml2. libxml's nanoftp.c xmlNanoFTPConnect() and nanohttp.c xmlNanoHTTPConnectHost() functions fail to properly perform boundary checking of DNS replies, an issue that could potentially cause stack-based overflows. Using specially-crafted DNS replies, an attacker that has hijacked or is controlling a DNS server can cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code, resulting in a loss of availability or integrity. |
| 11179 | libxml2 FTP URL Processing Overflow A remote overflow exists in libxml2. libxml2's nanoftp.c xmlNanoFTPScanURL() function fails to perform boundary checking of user-supplied data that is copied into a finite stack buffer, which could potentially cause a stack-based overflow.
