Detail
| Product: Solaris 9 Operating System, Solaris 10 Operating System There is a security vulnerability in the libxml2 library (see libxml2(3)) bundled with Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 which may impact applications making use of this library. The precise impact will vary depending on the application, but this vulnerability may allow a local or remote unprivileged user who provides a specially crafted XML file to cause a denial of service (DoS) to the application which is using the libxml2 library (or potentially to the system as a whole as the application may consume excessive resources).

| Description: | Brad Fitzpatrick discovered that the UTF-8 decoding functions of libxml2, the GNOME XML library, validate UTF-8 correctness insufficiently, which may lead to denial of service by forcing libxml2 into an infinite loop. For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.16-7sarge1. For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.27.dfsg-2. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages. | ||
