You can download an RPM from here: xmlsoft and use rpm -Uvh libxml*.rpm in the same folder. The oldest version available is 2.7.2
This may trigger a dependency nightmare cascade. You may be forced to update dozens of other programs and/or libraries.
I would suggest backing up the server. Then using apt-get upgrade or apt-get update to update the whole system. If you don't have apt-get use whatever package manager you have.
