Description:
Updated libxml2 packages fix security vulnerability:

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).
