Synopsis:          Moderate: libxml2 security update
Issue Date:        2013-02-28
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-0338
--

A denial of service flaw was found in the way libxml2 performed string
substitutions when entity values for entity references replacement was
enabled. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that,
when processed by an application linked against libxml2, would lead to
excessive CPU consumption. (CVE-2013-0338)

The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to
take effect.
