Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-341 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that libxml2, a library providing support to read, modify and write XML files, incorrectly performs entity substituton in the doctype prolog, even if the application using libxml2 disabled any entity substitution. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when processed, would lead to the exhaustion of CPU and memory resources or file descriptors. Affected Software/OS: 'libxml2' package(s) on Amazon Linux. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
