Description:

Two security issues have been discovered in libxml2 2.7.2:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4225
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4226

To fix these I just had to add
CVE-2008-4225.patch and
CVE-2008-4226.patch from
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/libxml2/2.7.2/2.fc10/src/libxml2-2.7.2-2.fc10.src.rpm
to the PKGBUILD here. :)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
