    Summary: Updated perl-XML-LibXML packages fix CVE-2015-3451

    Details: Updated perl-XML-LibXML package fixes security vulnerability: Tilmann Haak from xing.com discovered that XML::LibXML did not respect the expand_entities parameter to disable processing of external entities in some circumstances. This may allow attackers to gain read access to otherwise protected ressources, depending on how the library is used (CVE-2015-3451).
