libxml2 - security update

Description

* [CVE-2017-16931](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-16931) parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5 mishandles parameter-entity references because the NEXTL macro calls the xmlParserHandlePEReference function in the case of a '%' character in a DTD name. * [CVE-2017-16932](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-16932) parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5 does not prevent infinite recursion in parameter entities. For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+wheezy11. We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages.
