Advisory Summary

gitlab/nuget/libxml2/CVE-2016-3705

Improper Input Validation The (1) xmlParserEntityCheck and (2) xmlParseAttValueComplex functions in parser.c in libxml2 do not properly keep track of the recursion depth, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and application crash) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references.
