| Description: | The expat updates released in DSA-1953-1 caused a regression: In some cases, expat would abort with the message "error in processing external entity reference". For the old stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.95.8-3.4+etch3. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.1-4+lenny3. For the testing distribution and the unstable distribution , this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your expat packages. For reference, the original advisory text is provided below. Jan Lieskovsky discovered an error in expat, an XML parsing C library, when parsing certain UTF-8 sequences, which can be exploited to crash an application using the library. |
