  • 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)
