+ Yuuichi Teranishi discovered a flaw in libxml2 versions prior to 2.6.6. + When the libxml2 library fetches a remote resource via FTP or HTTP, libxml2 + uses parsing routines that can overflow a buffer caused by improper bounds + checking if they are passed a URL longer than 4096 bytes. +

+
+ +

+ If an attacker is able to exploit an application using libxml2 that parses + remote resources, then this flaw could be used to execute arbitrary code. +

+
+ +

+ No workaround is available; users are urged to upgrade libxml2 to 2.6.6. +

+
+ +

+ All users are recommended to upgrade their libxml2 installation: +

+ + # emerge sync + # emerge -pv ">=dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.6" + # emerge ">=dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.6" +
