Debian DSA-3321-1 : xmltooling - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 85130

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The InCommon Shibboleth Training team discovered that XMLTooling, a C++ XML parsing library, did not properly handle an exception when parsing well-formed but schema-invalid XML. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted XML data.

Solution

Upgrade the xmltooling packages.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.2-5+deb7u1.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.3-2+deb8u1.
