Debian DLA-334-2 : libxml2 regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 86579

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Unfortunately I mixed up the build of the i386 version of the libxml2 package. dpkg did not understand the contents of an included trigger

file and threw an error message. This new upload should fix this and you can get rid of the error message with for example :

apt-get update; apt-get -f install

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
