*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
OCaml Xml-Light Library before r234 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 unspecified vectors.
Note:
Quantal, Raring and Saucy are already fixed.
** Affects: xml-light (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Information type changed from Private Security to Public Security
