Hey,

I did not look into this issue closely yet, but I can reproduce an
OOM situation on libxml2 2.7.1, but not on 2.6.32.

The malicious XML file can be found on
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554660

I'm not sure if and how this is related to CVE-2008-3281.

  It's unrelated, the patch is attached to the bug, only 2.7.x is
affected and I will release 2.7.2 within a couple of hours.

Sounds good, thanks.


Steven, can you assign a CVE id for this?
