Subject: [OE-core] [PATCH] libxml2: Security fix CVE-2016-5131
CVE-2016-5131 libxml2: Use-after-free vulnerability in libxml2 through 2.9.4, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to the XPointer range-to function.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix XPointer paths beginning with range-to
+
+The old code would invoke the broken xmlXPtrRangeToFunction. range-to
+isn't really a function but a special kind of location step. Remove
+this function and always handle range-to in the XPath code.
+
+The old xmlXPtrRangeToFunction could also be abused to trigger a
+use-after-free error with the potential for remote code execution.
+
+Found with afl-fuzz.
+
+Fixes CVE-2016-5131.
+
+CVE: CVE-2016-5131
