Package : xerces-c
Date : December 4, 2009
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A vulnerability has been found and corrected in xerces-c:
Stack consumption vulnerability in validators/DTD/DTDScanner.cpp in
Apache Xerces C++ 2.7.0 and 2.8.0 allows context-dependent attackers to
cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving
nested parentheses and invalid byte values in simply nested DTD
structures, as demonstrated by the Codenomicon XML fuzzing framework
(CVE-2009-1885).
This update provides a solution to this vulnerability.

Corporate products.
