Mandriva: Subject: [Security Announce] [ MDVSA-2008:231 ] libxml2

LinuxSecurity.com: Drew Yaro of the Apple Product Security Team found two flaws in libxml2. The first is a denial of service flaw in libxml2's XML parser. If an application linked against libxml2 were to process certain malformed XML content, it cause the application to enter an infinite loop (CVE-2008-4225).

NAME
xacobeo - Graphical interface for running XPath queries. SYNOPSIS
xacobeo [OPTION]... [file [xpath]] Options: -h, --help brief help message -v, --version display the version of Xacobeo, XML::LibXML and libxml2 that are used and exit --html parse the input file as an HTML document Where file is a XML document and xpath a XPath query. OPTIONS
--help Print a brief help message and exits. --html Parse the file in the command line using the HTML parser. DESCRIPTION
This program provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for executing XPath queries and seeing their results. The GUI tries to provide all the elements that are needed in order to write, test and execute XPath queries without too many troubles. It displays the Document Object Model (DOM) and the namespaces used. The program registers the namespaces automatically and each element is displayed with its associated namespaces. All is performed with the idea of being able of running an XPath query as soon as possible without having to fight with the document's namespaces and by seeing automatically under which namespace each element is. This program is not an XML editor, at least not at this point, it's meant to be used for constructing and executing XPath queries. RATIONALE
The main idea behind this application is to provide a simple way for building XPath queries that will be latter integrated in to a program or XSLT transformation paths. Therefore, this program goal is to load an XML document and to display it as an XML parser sees it. Thus each node element is prefixed with its namespace. IMPLEMENTATION
This program uses XML::LibXML (libxml2) for all XML manipulations and Gtk2 for the graphical interface. LIMITATIONS
For the moment, the program focuses only on XPath and doesn't allow the XML document to be edited. AUTHOR
