Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:180-1 (libxml2)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to libxml2 announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:180-1. Andreas Solberg found a denial of service flaw in how libxml2 processed certain content. If an application linked against libxml2 processed such malformed XML content, it could cause the application to stop responding (CVE-2008-3281). Update: The original fix used to correct this issue caused some applications that used the libxml2 library to crash. These new updated packages use a different fix that does not cause certain linked applications to crash as the old packages did. Affected: 2007.1, 2008.0, 2008.1, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2008:180-1 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.3
