Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:017
http://www.mandriva.com/security/

Package : libxml2
Date : March 5, 2013
Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in libxml2:

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 updated packages have been upgraded to the 2.7.6 version and
patched to correct this issue.
