Yuuichi Teranishi discovered a flaw in libxml2 versions prior to 2.6.6.
When the libxml2 library fetches a remote resource via FTP or HTTP, libxml2 uses parsing routines that can overflow a buffer caused by improper bounds checking if they are passed a URL longer than 4096 bytes.
Impact :
If an attacker is able to exploit an application using libxml2 that parses remote resources, then this flaw could be used to execute arbitrary code.
Workaround :
No workaround is available; users are urged to upgrade libxml2 to 2.6.6.
