libxml2 is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability exists when used in recover mode, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted XML document. NOTE: The maintainer states “I would disagree of a CVE with the Recover parsing option which should only be used for manual recovery at least for XML parser.”
