 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2012:023
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : libxml2
 Date    : February 22, 2012
 Affected: 2010.1, 2011., Enterprise Server 5.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability has been found and corrected in libxml2:
 
 It was found that the hashing routine used by libxml2 arrays was
 susceptible to predictable hash collisions. Sending a specially-crafted
 message to an XML service could result in longer processing time,
 which could lead to a denial of service. To mitigate this issue,
 randomization has been added to the hashing function to reduce the
 chance of an attacker successfully causing intentional collisions
 (CVE-2012-0841).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
