parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.2 does not properly prevent entity expansion
even when entity substitution has been disabled, which allows
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption)
via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity
references, a variant of the “billion laughs” attack.
