-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:017 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : libxml2 Date : March 5, 2013 Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A vulnerability has been found and corrected in libxml2: A denial of service flaw was found in the way libxml2 performed string substitutions when entity values for entity references replacement was enabled. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when processed by an application linked against libxml2, would lead to excessive CPU consumption (CVE-2013-0338). The updated packages have been upgraded to the 2.7.6 version and patched to correct this issue. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-0338 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912400 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Enterprise Server 5: e3d2c325dbb2d33ea2839de58db1fa74 mes5/i586/libxml2_2-2.7.6-0.1mdvmes5.2.i586.rpm 567c33bce54fe89ec728e520e4c9bac2 mes5/i586/libxml2-devel-2.7.6-0.1mdvmes5.2.i586.rpm 18079083eb5e222383723eeae94c3a28 mes5/i586/libxml2-python-2.7.6-0.1mdvmes5.2.i586.rpm 7d75b05078300ea34c7e086d4f4b04a4 mes5/i586/libxml2-utils-2.7.6-0.1mdvmes5.2.i586.rpm 90e90f1098aababac24391b8e67fbeaa mes5/SRPMS/libxml2-2.7.6-0.1mdvmes5.2.src.rpm Mandriva Enterprise Server 5/X86_64: ab842379cfd78d886fc4e5d6f8205474 mes5/x86_64/lib64xml2_2-2.7.6-0.1mdvmes5.2.x86_64.rpm 1b4f5427a29f8499fce023d401914d8d mes5/x86_64/lib64xml2-devel-2.7.6-0.1mdvmes5.2.x86_64.rpm ebd9cb9095b6555afed217d194639953 mes5/x86_64/libxml2-python-2.7.6-0.1mdvmes5.2.x86_64.rpm bb0fa6697516e0ea613f838606df963b mes5/x86_64/libxml2-utils-2.7.6-0.1mdvmes5.2.x86_64.rpm 90e90f1098aababac24391b8e67fbeaa mes5/SRPMS/libxml2-2.7.6-0.1mdvmes5.2.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
