An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.
Description:
This update for perl-XML-Twig fixes the following issues:
- Security fix [bsc#1008644, CVE-2016-9180]
* Added: the no_xxe 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 expand_external_ents to 0 or -1 currently doesn't work as
expected; To completely turn off expanding external entities use
no_xxe.
* Update documentation for XML::Twig to mention problems with
expand_external_ents and add information about new no_xxe argument
