Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:212
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : libxml2
Date : October 15, 2008
Affected: 2009.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
libxml2 version 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 did not properly handle predefined
entities definitions in entities, which allowed context-dependent
attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and
application crash) via certain XML documents (CVE-2008-4409).
The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.
