Debian Bug : 806384

CVE-2015-8241
Buffer overread with XML parser in xmlNextChar

CVE-2015-8317

  • issues in the xmlParseXMLDecl function:
    If we fail conversing the current input stream while
    processing the encoding declaration of the XMLDecl
    then it's safer to just abort there and not try to
    report further errors.
  • If the string is not properly terminated do not try to convert
    to the given encoding.

Additional fix for off by one error in previous patch for CVE-2015-7942
(thanks to Salvatore for spotting this)
