   An update that fixes 8 vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:


   This is a LTSS rollup update for the libxml2 library that
   fixes various  security issues.

   *

   CVE-2013-2877: parser.c in libxml2 allowed remote
   attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read)
   via a document that ends abruptly, related to the lack of
   certain checks for the XML_PARSER_EOF state.

   *

   CVE-2013-0338: libxml2 allowed context-dependent
   attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory
   consumption) via an XML file containing an entity
   declaration with long replacement text and many references
   to this entity, aka "internal entity expansion" with linear
   complexity.

   *

   CVE-2012-5134: Heap-based buffer underflow in the
   xmlParseAttValueComplex function in parser.c in libxml2
   allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service or
   possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted entities in an
   XML document.

   *

   CVE-2012-2807: Multiple integer overflows in libxml2
   on 64-bit Linux platforms allowed remote attackers to cause
   a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other
   impact via unknown vectors.

   *

   CVE-2011-3102: Off-by-one error in libxml2 allowed
   remote attackers to cause a denial of service
   (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other
   impact via unknown vectors.

   *

   CVE-2012-0841: libxml2 computed hash values without
   restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions
   predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to
   cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted XML
   data.

   *

   CVE-2011-3919: A heap-based buffer overflow during
   decoding of entity references with overly long names has
   been fixed.
