Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the USN-644-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the USN-644-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that libxml2 did not correctly handle long entity names. If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted XML document, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges or cause the application linked against libxml2 to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3529) USN-640-1 fixed vulnerabilities in libxml2. When processing extremely large XML documents with valid entities, it was possible to incorrectly trigger the newly added vulnerability protections. This update fixes the problem.
