From ${URL} : We found a denegation of service parsing a specially crafted xml in libxml2 if xz support is enabled. It affects version 2.9.1 and probably others. Find attached a xml that never finishes the parsing process: gdb --quiet --args xmllint /tmp/test.xz Reading symbols from xmllint...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
