Summary
Security update for libxml2
Details

This update for libxml2 fixes the following issues:

  • CVE-2016-9318: libxml2 did not offer a flag directly indicating that the current document may be read but other files may not be opened, which made it easier for remote attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) attacks via a crafted document (bsc#1010675).
  • Prevent NULL dereference in xpointer.c and xmlDumpElementContent, and infinite recursion in xmlParseConditionalSections when in recovery mode(bnc#1014873)
