Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 6.10 Ubuntu 7.04 Ubuntu 7.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: Ubuntu 6.10: Ubuntu 7.04: Ubuntu 7.10: After a standard system upgrade you need to restart your session to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Brad Fitzpatrick discovered that libxml2 did not correctly handle certain UTF-8 sequences. If a remote attacker were able to trick a user or automated system into processing a specially crafted XML document, the application linked against libxml2 could enter an infinite loop, leading to a denial of service via CPU resource consumption. |

| 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. | ||
