Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for libxml2.

CVE-2016-9596[0]:
stack exhaustion while parsing xml files in recovery mode

Unfortunately apart the bug [1] which only states "stack exhaustion
while parsing xml files in recovery mode" there is no further
information about this vulnerability. I tried ask Red Hat folks if
there is more information available.

This bug should help to start tracking this issue.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:
