Hi,

two libxml2 issues were fixed in the latest chrome updates:

CVE-2011-2821
Double free vulnerability in libxml2, as used in Google Chrome before
13.0.782.215, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or
possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted XPath expression.

Patch:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2...5b41115de6


CVE-2011-2834
Double free vulnerability in libxml2, as used in Google Chrome before
14.0.835.163, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or
possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to XPath
handling.

Patch: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chro...p;revision˜359


Cheers,
Giuseppe

I'm going to push that to unstable, do we want stable/oldstable
