RHBA-2013:1737 - libxml2 bug fix update
Synopsis
libxml2 bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated libxml2 packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The libxml2 library is a development toolbox providing the implementation of various XML standards.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, parsing an XML file containing entities loaded via Document Type Definition (DTD) using the XML::LibXML module could lead to a missing entity error as XML::LibXML did not load entities DTD. A patch has been applied to address this problem and XML files are parsed successfully in this scenario. (BZ#863166)
Users of libxml2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug. The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
