Check the version of libxml2

Please Install the Updated Packages.

It was discovered that libxml2 would incorrectly perform entity substitution even when requested not to. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted document, an attacker could possibly cause resource consumption, resulting in a denial of service.

libxml2 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS , Ubuntu 12.04 LTS , Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Get the installed version with the help of detect NVT and check if the version is vulnerable or not.
