Title:	CentOS Update for libxml2 CESA-2013:0581 centos5
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: The libxml2 library is a development toolbox providing the implementation of various XML standards. A denial of service flaw was found in the way libxml2 performed string substitutions when entity values for entity references replacement was enabled. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when processed by an application linked against libxml2, would lead to excessive CPU consumption. (CVE-2013-0338) All users of libxml2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect. Affected Software/OS: libxml2 on CentOS 5 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
