   Log message:
   add patches from upstream to fix possible crashes and memory corruption
   on malformed input (CVE-2016-0718)
   Description: The Expat XML parser mishandles certain kinds of malformed
   input documents, resulting in buffer overflows 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.

   bump PKGREV

   also add an improvement to the fix for CVE-2015-1283 which was part
   of the 2.1.1 release -- don't rely on defined behaviour on overflows
   of signed integer operations, from upstream git:

   pkgsrc change: add a hint how to run the pkg's selftest (not enabled
   permanently because this would add a dependency on C++)
