<p>libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project.</p>

<description>
|
|
<p>parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.2 does not properly prevent entity
|
|
expansion even when entity substitution has been disabled.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to a specially crafted
|
|
XML file using an application linked against libxml2, possibly resulting
|
|
in a Denial of Service condition.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>All libxml2 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.2"
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
<p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
|
|
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
