Thanks David. As reported by Seulbae Kim from the Center for Software Security and Assurance (CSSA), we either need to spend a lot of time on a bundled expat or rip it out from releases. I think one more release with an updated expat might be prudent, given the severity of the issue shared above. -- Eric Covener cove...@gmail.com
