Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-1153-1 (libxml2)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-1153-1 (libxml2)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to libxml2 announced via advisory USN-1153-1. Details: Chris Evans discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled memory allocation. If an application using libxml2 opened a specially crafted XML file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute code as the user invoking the program. Solution: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 11.04: libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 Ubuntu 10.10: libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-4ubuntu0.2 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: libxml2 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.2 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: libxml2 2.6.31.dfsg-2ubuntu1.6 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1153-1
