libxml2 is vulnerable to denial of service. Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way libxml2 decoded certain XML files. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
