Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'xerces-c' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0088 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated xerces-c packages fix security vulnerability: The Xerces-C XML parser mishandles certain kinds of malformed input documents, resulting in buffer overlows during processing and error reporting.
