Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Expat, an XML parsing C library, which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code, if a malformed XML file is processed.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.0-6+deb8u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your expat packages.
