Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in libxml:

Stack consumption vulnerability in libxml2 2.5.10, 2.6.16, 2.6.26,
2.6.27, and 2.6.32, and libxml 1.8.17, allows context-dependent
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a
large depth of element declarations in a DTD, related to a function
recursion, as demonstrated by the Codenomicon XML fuzzing framework
(CVE-2009-2414).

Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in libxml2 2.5.10, 2.6.16,
2.6.26, 2.6.27, and 2.6.32, and libxml 1.8.17, allow context-dependent
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted
(1) Notation or (2) Enumeration attribute types in an XML file, as
demonstrated by the Codenomicon XML fuzzing framework (CVE-2009-2416).

This update provides a solution to these vulnerabilities.

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.
