Title:	Mandriva Update for libxml2 MDVSA-2012:176 (libxml2)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'libxml2'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A vulnerability was found and corrected in libxml2: A heap-buffer overflow was found in the way libxml2 decoded certain XML entities. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file, which once opened in an application linked against libxml would cause that application to crash, or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application (CVE-2012-5134). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected Software/OS: libxml2 on Mandriva Linux 2011.0, Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.2 Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
