CVE-2015-5312: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
(updated )
The xmlStringLenDecodeEntities function in parser.c in libxml2 does not properly prevent entity expansion, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted XML data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-3660.
