| CVE ID: | CVE-2003-1564 |
| Description: | 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." |
| Test IDs: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.64182 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.66395 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.64184 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.64693 |
