Subject: CVE request: DoS in libxml2 if xz is enabled
Hello,
We found a denegation of service parsing a specially crafted xml in libxml2
if xz support is enabled. It affects version 2.9.1 and probably others.
Find attached a xml that never finishes the parsing process:
gdb --quiet --args xmllint /tmp/test.xz
Reading symbols from xmllint...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/xmllint /tmp/test.xz
^C
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

Upstream is working to fix this issue. This test case was found using afl.
Thanks!
