+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #280617 +++

Jukka Taimisto and Rauli Kaksonen from the CROSS project at Codenomicon reported the following vulnerabilities:
* Multiple pointer use-after-free flaws CVE-2009-2416
* Stack oveeflow when parsing recursive XML structures CVE-2009-2414

Furthermore, we missed patches for CVE-2004-0110 and CVE-2004-0989 that were needed for libxml-1 as well. Thanks to Victor Ostorga for noting that.

Since we never audited libxml for issues in libxml2, I wonder what the status of these CVEs is:
* CVE-2008-4409
* CVE-2008-4226
* CVE-2008-4225
* CVE-2008-3529
* CVE-2008-3281 and the original CVE-2003-1564
* CVE-2007-6284

The package is no longer in the tree. Should we make a decision about GLSA for those users who might still have it installed?
