<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted XML
|
|
document with an application using libxml2, possibly resulting in a
|
|
high CPU consumption. Note that this vulnerability could also be
|
|
triggered without user interaction by an automated system processing
|
|
XML content.

<workaround>

# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.30-r1"</code>
