An issue was introduced when CVE-2012-0876 was addressed. Stefan Sorensen
discovered that the use of the function XML_Parse() seeds the random number
generator generating repeated outputs for rand() calls (CVE-2012-6702).

Due to an incomplete solution for CVE-2012-0876, the parser poorly seeds the
random number generator allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service
(CPU consumption) via an XML file with crafted identifiers (CVE-2016-5300).");
