      in lib/xmlparse.c.

      32bit platforms in lib/xmlparse.c.
    - CVE-2012-6702
  * SECURITY UPDATE: use of too little entropy
    - debian/patches/CVE-2016-5300-1.patch: extract method
      gather_time_entropy in lib/xmlparse.c.

      address in lib/xmlparse.c.
    - CVE-2016-5300
  * SECURITY UPDATE: denial of service and possible code execution via
    malformed documents
    - debian/patches/CVE-2016-0718.patch: fix out of bounds memory access
      and integer overflow in lib/xmlparse.c, lib/xmltok.c, lib/xmltok.h,

    - CVE-2016-0718
  * SECURITY UPDATE: integer overflows in XML_GetBuffer
    - debian/patches/CVE-2015-1283-refix.patch: improved existing fix in
