Vulnerability Insight:
CVE-2015-8241

Buffer overread with XML parser in xmlNextChar

CVE-2015-8317

issues in the xmlParseXMLDecl function: If we fail conversing the current input stream while processing the encoding declaration of the XMLDecl then it's safer to just abort there and not try to report further errors.

If the string is not properly terminated do not try to convert to the given encoding.

Additional fix for off by one error in previous patch for CVE-2015-7942 (thanks to Salvatore for spotting this)

Affected Software/OS:
'libxml2' package(s) on Debian 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
