Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-80-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the DLA-80-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the DLA-80-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Sogeti found a denial of service flaw in libxml2, a library providing support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when processed by an application using libxml2, would lead to excessive CPU consumption (denial of service) based on excessive entity substitutions, even if entity substitution was disabled, which is the parser default behavior. (CVE-2014-3660) In addition, this update addresses a misapplied chunk for a patch released the previous version (#762864). For Debian 6 Squeeze, these issues have been fixed in libxml2 version 2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze10 Affected Software/OS: 'libxml2' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
