Package : libxml2 Version : 2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze12 CVE ID : CVE-2015-1819 Debian Bug : #782782 #782985 #783010 This upload to Debian squeeze-lts fixes three issues found in the libxml2 package. (1) CVE-2015-1819 / #782782 Florian Weimer from Red Hat reported an issue against libxml2, where a parser which uses libxml2 chokes on a crafted XML document, allocating gigabytes of data. This is a fine line issue between API misuse and a bug in libxml2. This issue got addressed in libxml2 upstream and the patch has been backported to libxml2 in squeeze-lts. (2) #782985 Jun Kokatsu reported an out-of-bounds memory access in libxml2. By entering an unclosed html comment the libxml2 parser didn't stop parsing at the end of the buffer, causing random memory to be included in the parsed comment that was returned to the evoking application. In the Shopify application (where this issue was originally discovered), this caused ruby objects from previous http requests to be disclosed in the rendered page. (3) #783010 Michal Zalewski reported another out-of-bound reads issue in libxml2 that did not cause any crashes but could be detected under ASAN and Valgrind. -- mike gabriel aka sunweaver (Debian Developer) fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Fingerprint: 9BFB AEE8 6C0A A5FF BF22 0782 9AF4 6B30 2577 1B31 mail: sunweaver@debian.org, http://sunweavers.net
