Use CVE-2016-3627.

It was reported to the libxml2 bug tracker some
time ago but the maintainers are quite busy, so they haven't fixed it.

It's typically useful to mention the bug number even if it isn't
currently a public bug, in case correlation is needed later.

Looks like it was reported here:
