Description Florian Weimer 2012-12-19 13:04:23 UTC
See bug 888765:

exempi contains code to protect against a denial-service-attack related to XML entity expansion ("billion laughs attack"), but it is not compiled into the Fedora package because BanAllEntityUsage is not defined when the package is compiled.

This bug is currently assigned to an unsupported release. If you think this bug is still valid and should remain open, please re-assign it to a supported release (F22, F23) or to rawhide.
