Comment 3 Martin Prpič 2015-11-02 09:16:34 EST
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of libxml2 as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 as they did not include support for LZMA compression support.
Comment 4 Martin Prpič 2015-11-02 09:58:21 EST
LZMA compression support was introduced in libxml2 in:

2.8.0: May 23 2012
Features: add lzma compression support (Anders F Bjorklund)
Comment 5 Daniel Veillard 2015-11-02 11:45:39 EST
So lzma support in 2.9.2 seems to be broken that's why Fedora seems not affected.

But the bug is present since all version 2.8.0 onward.
Seems I managed to get a first fix for the issue, I will add as attachment
