It was discovered that there was a ‘Billion Laughs’ [0] XML expansion vulnerability in libsoap-lite-perl, a Perl implementation of a SOAP [1] client and server.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, this issue has been fixed in libsoap-lite-perl version 0.714-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libsoap-lite-perl packages.
