Subject: [PATCH 0/1] More libxml2 security fixes
Date: Thu, 26 May 2016 22:57:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1464317636.git.leo@famulari.name> (raw)

libxml2 2.9.4 is released, with a lot of fixed bugs, both with and
without CVE IDs:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/log/

This patch updates the existing graft by removing patches for two of
these fixed bugs, and updating to 2.9.4, fixing 10 additional CVE bugs.

The question is: will it work to graft 2.9.4 in place of 2.9.3?

Can anyone recommend a package that uses libxml2 in an obvious way (e.g.
for parsing an XML configuration file)?

  gnu: libxml2: Update replacement to 2.9.4 [security fixes].
