Descriptions

parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5 mishandles parameter-entity references because the NEXTL macro calls the xmlParserHandlePEReference function in the case of a '%' character in a DTD name.

parser.c en libxml2 en versiones anteriores a la 2.9.5 gestiona de manera incorrecta las referencias de entidades de parámetro debido a que la macro NEXTL llama a la función xmlParserHandlePEReference en caso de que haya un carácter "%" en un nombre DTD.
