 CVE-2016-9181 [Image-Info: XXE in SVG files]
        - libimage-info-perl 1.39-1 (bug #842891)
-       [jessie] - libimage-info-perl <no-dsa> (Minor issue; could be fixed via 
point release)
+       [jessie] - libimage-info-perl <no-dsa> (Minor issue)
        NOTE: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=118099

https://github.com/eserte/image-info/commit/781625b643bc05ba92127a4554de7910f3f2f8e6
        NOTE: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/11/02/1
+       NOTE: Older versions of libimage-info-perl only can use XML::Simple.
+       NOTE: Controlling XXE processing behavior in XML::Simple is not really
+       NOTE: possible (see https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83794),
+       NOTE: so as a workaround the underlying SAX parser is fixed to
+       NOTE: XML::SAX::PurePerl which is uncapable of processing external 
entities
+       NOTE: but unfortunately it is also a slow parser.
