CVE-2008-3529  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libxml2 to version 2.6.32.dfsg-4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxml2 package and not the libxml2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the xmlParseAttValueComplex function in parser.c in libxml2 before 2.7.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a long XML entity name.
