Several vulnerabilities were discovered
in libxml2, a library providing support to read, modify and write XML and HTML
files. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML or HTML file that,
when processed by an application using libxml2, would cause a denial-of-service
against the application, or potentially, the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running the application.
