                Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name:           libxml2
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:018
Date:                   March 3rd, 2004

Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A flaw in libxml2 versions prior to 2.6.6 was found by Yuuichi
Teranishi.  When fetching a remote source via FTP or HTTP, libxml2
uses special parsing routines that can overflow a buffer if passed a
very long URL.  In the event that the attacker can find a program that
uses libxml2 which parses remote resources and allows them to
influence the URL, this flaw could be used to execute arbitrary code.

The updated packages provide a backported fix to correct the problem.
