It was discovered that there was a potential denial of service vulnerability in libxml2, the GNOME XML parsing library.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this issue has been fixed in libxml2 version 2.9.1+dfsg1-5+deb8u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
