Synopsis ========
A Denial of Service vulnerability has been reported in libxml2.
Background ==========
libxml2 is the XML (eXtended Markup Language) C parser and toolkit initially developed for the Gnome project.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-libs/libxml2 < 2.6.30-r1 >= 2.6.30-r1
Description ===========
Brad Fitzpatrick reported that the xmlCurrentChar() function does not properly handle some UTF-8 multibyte encodings.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted XML document with an application using libxml2, possibly resulting in a high CPU consumption. Note that this vulnerability could also be triggered without user interaction by an automated system processing XML content.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All libxml2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.30-r1"
