Fedora Core 2: FEDORA-2004-407 Critical Update for libxml2 Issues
fedora
November 11, 2004
This update to libxml2 fixes a variety of bugs found in 2.6.15, notably #137968.
Summary
This library allows to manipulate XML files. It includes support
to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. There is DTDs support
this includes parsing and validation even with complex DtDs, either
at parse time or later once the document has been modified. The output
can be a simple SAX stream or and in-memory DOM like representations.
In this case one can use the built-in XPath and XPointer implementation
to select subnodes or ranges. A flexible Input/Output mechanism is
available, with existing HTTP and FTP modules and combined to an
URI library.
