"Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libxml2, a library
providing support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. A
remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML or HTML file
that, when processed by an application using libxml2, would cause a
denial of service against the application, or potentially the
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
the application.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
2.8.0+dfsg1-7+wheezy6.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
