CVE-2003-1564 in libxml2info

Summary

libxml2, possibly before 2.5.0, does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, aka the "billion laughs attack."

Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
