It was discovered that libxml2 did not correctly handle long entity names.
If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted XML document,
a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges
or cause the application linked against libxml2 to crash, leading to a
denial of service. (CVE-2008-3529)
USN-640-1 fixed vulnerabilities in libxml2. When processing extremely
large XML documents with valid entities, it was possible to incorrectly
trigger the newly added vulnerability protections. This update fixes
the problem. (CVE-2008-3281)
