libxml2 'xmlSAX2Characters()' Integer Overflow Vulnerability

The 'libxml2' library is prone to an integer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly verify user-supplied data when handling XML files.

Successful exploits of this vulnerability allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of an affected application. Failed exploits may crash the application.

This issue affects libxml2-2.7.2; other versions may also be affected.
