Background

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

Description

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.

Impact

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

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All libxml2 users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.1-r4"
OSVersionArchitecturePackageVersionFilename
Gentooanyalldev-libs/libxml2< 2.9.1-r4UNKNOWN
