libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project.

+
+ +

A vulnerability in the xmlParserHandlePEReference() function of + parser.c, when expanding entity references, can be exploited to consume + large amounts of memory and cause a crash or hang. +

+
+ +

A remote attacker may be able to cause Denial of Service via a specially + crafted XML file containing malicious attributes. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All libxml2 users should upgrade to the latest version:

+ + + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.1-r4" + + +
