Vulnerability Assessment Details

RHSA-2004-090: libxml

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Check for the version of the libxml packages

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment


Updated libxml2 packages that fix an overflow when parsing remote resources
are now available.

libxml2 is a library for manipulating XML files.

Yuuichi Teranishi discovered a flaw in libxml2 versions prior to 2.6.6.
When fetching a remote resource via FTP or HTTP, libxml2 uses special
parsing routines. These routines can overflow a buffer if passed a very
long URL. If a possible hacker is able to find an application using libxml2 that
parses remote resources and permits them to influence the URL, then this
flaw could be used to execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0110
to this issue.

All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported fix and are not vulnerable to this issue.
