Fedora Core 3: FEDORA-2004-407 Moderate: Libxml2 Critical Bug Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey November 11, 2004
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Ubuntu libxml2 upgrade addresses issues from version 2.6.15, improving XML handling and robustness.
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.
