Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in libxml2, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An error when parsing certain DTD ELEMENT definitions can be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted XML file.
2) Multiple use-after-free errors when parsing notation and enumeration attributes in DTD definitions can be exploited to e.g. cause a crash via a specially crafted XML file.
