A remote unauthenticated attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service against applications using the xerces-c library.

Additionally this update includes an enhancement to enable applications to fully disable DTD processing through the use of an environment variable (XERCES_DISABLE_DTD).

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.1-5.1+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your xerces-c packages.");
