CVE-2003-1564

Published: 9/2/2008 Last updated: 8/8/2024 Reserved: 9/2/2008

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."
