DSA-3321 xmltooling – security update

The InCommon Shibboleth Training team discovered that XMLTooling, a
C++ XML parsing library, did not properly handle an exception when
parsing well-formed but schema-invalid XML. This could allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted XML data.

DSA-3319 bind9 – security update

Jonathan Foote discovered that the BIND DNS server does not properly
handle TKEY queries. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw
to mount a denial of service via a specially crafted query triggering an
assertion failure and causing BIND to exit.
