Hi
There is a security advisory regarding libhtml-parser-perl
officially; this is CVE-2009-3627
A vulnerability has been reported in HTML-Parser, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service)
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the
"decode_entities()" function in utils.c, which can be exploited to

specially crafted string using this library.
The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 3.63.
See [1]. Further Informations is in the CPAN RT System, and the Bug is
closed in version 3.63. 3.64 is already packaged by the Debian Perl
Group but not yet uploaded, already taged, and thus missing a Closes
entry for this bug.
