   An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata
   is now available.

Description:


   This update for libxml2 fixes the following issues:

   * CVE-2016-9318: libxml2 did not offer a flag directly indicating that the
     current document may be read but other files may not be opened, which
     made it easier for remote attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE)
     attacks via a crafted document (bsc#1010675).
   * Prevent NULL dereference in xpointer.c and xmlDumpElementContent, and
     infinite recursion in xmlParseConditionalSections when in recovery
     mode(bnc#1014873)
