Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-14 13:43:01 UTC
I cannot say which version because some files were removed, would be nice if upstream made it possible to use a system library though.

I wouldn't be sad if someone killed cl-albert.

Someone needs to fix it since it (may?) contain a security-vuln copy of expat. The time is near...

Looks like everybody agrees on this one. Reassigning to treecleaners.

CVE-2009-2625 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-2625):
  Apache Xerces2 Java, as used in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in
  JDK and JRE 6 before Update 15 and JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 20,
  and in other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (infinite loop and application hang) via malformed XML input,
  as demonstrated by the Codenomicon XML fuzzing framework.

^ This is really a expat vuln, wrt bug 280615

CVE-2009-3560 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-3560):
  The big2_toUtf8 function in lib/xmltok.c in libexpat in Expat 2.0.1,
  as used in the XML-Twig module for Perl, allows context-dependent
  attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an XML
  document with malformed UTF-8 sequences that trigger a buffer
  over-read, related to the doProlog function in lib/xmlparse.c, a
  different vulnerability than CVE-2009-2625 and CVE-2009-3720.
