libxml2: code execution

Package(s):libxml2 CVE #(s):CVE-2011-3919
Created:January 12, 2012 Updated:September 26, 2012
Description:

From the Red Hat advisory:

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libxml2 decoded entity references with long names. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2011-3919)
