- libxml2 limits the number of recursions an XML document can contain so
to protect against the 'Billion Laughs' denial-of-service attack.
Unfortunately, the underlying counter was not incremented properly in
all necessary locations. Therefore, specially crafted XML documents
could exhaust all available stack space and crash the XML parser without
running into the recursion limit. This vulnerability has been fixed.
(bsc#975947)
- When running in recovery mode, certain invalid XML documents would
trigger an infinite recursion in libxml2 that ran until all stack space
was exhausted. This vulnerability could have been used to facilitate a
denial-of-sevice attack. (CVE-2016-3627, bsc#972335)");
