In some cases, XML::LibXML did not respect the request to disable entities expansion. Applications handling untrusted XML files can then be tricked into disclosing the content of local files.

In Debian 6 ‘Squeeze’, this issue has been fixed in libxml-libxml-perl version 1.70.ds-1+deb6u1.

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.
