Summary
Updated xerces-c packages fix CVE-2016-0729
Details

Updated xerces-c packages fix security vulnerability:

The Xerces-C XML parser mishandles certain kinds of malformed input documents, resulting in buffer overlows during processing and error reporting. The overflows can manifest as a segmentation fault or as memory corruption during a parse operation. The bugs allow for a denial of service attack in many applications by an unauthenticated attacker, and could conceivably result in remote code execution (CVE-2016-0729).
