Summary
Security update for perl-XML-Twig
Details

This update for perl-XML-Twig fixes the following issues:

  • Security fix [bsc#1008644, CVE-2016-9180]
    • Added: the noxxe option to XML::Twig::new, which causes the parse to fail if external entities are used (to prevent malicious XML to access the filesystem).
    • Setting expandexternalents to 0 or -1 currently doesn't work as expected; To completely turn off expanding external entities use noxxe.
    • Update documentation for XML::Twig to mention problems with expandexternalents and add information about new no_xxe argument
