<p> |
50 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted XML |
51 |
document with an application using libxml2, possibly resulting in a |
52 |
high CPU consumption. Note that this vulnerability could also be |
53 |
triggered without user interaction by an automated system processing |
54 |
XML content. |

# emerge --sync |
68 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.30-r1"</code> |
