Descriptions

The xmlCurrentChar function in libxml2 before 2.6.31 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via XML containing invalid UTF-8 sequences.

La función xmlCurrentChar de libxml2, en versiones anteriores a la 2.6.31, permite que algunos atacantes, dependiendo del contexto, provoquen denegación de servicio (por bucle infinito) usando un XML que contenga secuencias no válidas de UTF-8.
