  "details": "Updated expat packages fix security vulnerabilities:\n\nAn issue was introduced when CVE-2012-0876 was addressed. Stefan Sørensen\ndiscovered that the use of the function XML_Parse() seeds the random number\ngenerator generating repeated outputs for rand() calls (CVE-2012-6702).\n\nDue to an incomplete solution for CVE-2012-0876, the parser poorly seeds the\nrandom number generator allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service\n(CPU consumption) via an XML file with crafted identifiers (CVE-2016-5300).\n",
