+ <package name="dev-libs/libxml2" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.2 does not properly prevent entity
+ expansion even when entity substitution has been disabled.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to a specially crafted
+ XML file using an application linked against libxml2, possibly resulting
+ in a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All libxml2 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.2"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
+ such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
