+Description:
+ A flaw in libxml2 [0] found by Yuuichi Teranishi can be exploited to
+ cause a buffer overflow if passed a very long URL [1]. This could be
+ used by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host computer.
+ The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the
+ id CAN-2004-0110 [2] to the problem.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm
+ -q libxml". If you have the "libxml" package installed and its version
+ is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade
+ it (see solution) and any dependent packages (see above). [3][4]
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [5], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [6] or a mirror location,
+ verify its integrity [7], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [3]
+ and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [4].
+ For the current release OpenPKG 1.3, perform the following operations
+ to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust
+ accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/1.3/UPD
+ ftp> get libxml-2.5.8-1.3.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig libxml-2.5.8-1.3.1.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild libxml-2.5.8-1.3.1.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/libxml-2.5.8-1.3.1.*.rpm
+
+ Additionally, we recommend that you rebuild and reinstall
+ all dependent packages (see above), if any, too. [3][4]
