CVE-2017-16931 libxml2: Mishandling parameter-entity references
Last modified: 2018-06-29 18:29:49 EDT
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. Upstream patch: https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2/commit/e26630548e7d138d2c560844c43820b6767251e3
