This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

The Portable Tool Library (aka PTLib) before 2.10.10, as used in Ekiga before 4.0.1, does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted PXML document containing a large number of nested entity references, aka a "billion laughs attack."

The weakness was released 05/23/2014 (Website). The advisory is available at ekiga.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2013-1864 since 02/19/2013. It is possible to launch the attack remotely.
