    ===========================================================
    Ubuntu Security Notice USN-89-1 February 28, 2005
    libxml vulnerabilities
    CAN-2004-0989
    ===========================================================

    A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

    Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

    The following packages are affected:

    libxml1

    The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
    version 1:1.8.17-8ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is
    sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

    Details follow:

    Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libxml's FTP
    connection and DNS resolution functions. Supplying very long FTP URLs
    or IP addresses might result in execution of arbitrary code with the
    privileges of the process using libxml.

    This does not affect the core XML parsing code, which is what the
    majority of programs use this library for.

    Note: The same vulnerability was already fixed for libxml2 in
    USN-10-1.
