So here are the CVE's for the two big ones, libxml2 and expat. Both
are affected by the expansion of internal entities (which can be used
to consume resources) and external entities (which can cause a denial
of service against other services, be used to port scan, etc.).

A billion laughs attack is a type of denial-of-service attack which is
aimed at parsers of XML documents.");
