Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The libxml2 library is a development toolbox providing the implementation of various XML standards. A denial of service flaw was found in the way the libxml2 library parsed certain XML files. An attacker could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when parsed by an application using libxml2, could cause that application to use an excessive amount of memory.

This update also fixes the following bug: This update fixes an error that occurred when running a test case for the serialization of HTML documents.

The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect. Affected Software/OS: libxml2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages.
