Description
Multiple stack overflow flaws were found in the way the XML parser of
boinc-client, a Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC)
client for distributed computing, performed processing of certain XML files.
A rogue BOINC server could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when
processed would lead to boinc-client executable crash (CVE-2013-2298).
Issues preventing the boinc-client service from working immediately after
installation have been fixed as well.
