NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mingw32-libxml2-static package and not the mingw32-libxml2-static package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

libxml2 before 2.8.0 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted XML data.
