[Bug 1483033] Re: Please sync expat 2.1.0-7 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[djcj]

So far CVE-2015-1283 was only fixed in the upcoming Wily release.
Please backport this patch to the other distributions too (at least to Trusty).

Status in expat package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Please sync expat  2.1.0-7 (main) from Debian unstable (main).

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be droppped:

  Unless I'm missing something, this was just a rebuild without any
  changes.

  Changes in Debian since 2.1.0-6:
  expat (2.1.0-7) unstable; urgency=high

    * Fix CVE-2015-1283, multiple integer overflows in the XML_GetBuffer
      function (closes: #793484).
    * Update Standards-Version to 3.9.6 .

  Note that this includes fix for a CVE. I don't know what the policy is regarding syncs with the ongoing gcc5 transition, so please let me know if this will need to wait until that has been sorted out.
