>Description:
While looking into PR ports/150968 I discovered some minor bugs in the base expat that also are not patched. In particular, there's a better fix for CVE-2009-3560. See:

http://expat.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/expat/expat/lib/xmlparse.c?view=log

In particular rev 1.166

and there's another issue which was reported here:

http://mail.libexpat.org/pipermail/expat-bugs/2010-February/002870.html

which was fixed in 1.167. This patch might do the trick:
