* Fix CVE-2017-12627: Alberto Garcia, Francisco Oca and Suleman Ali of
Offensive Research discovered that the Xerces-C XML parser mishandles
certain kinds of external DTD references, resulting in dereference of a
NULL pointer while processing the path to the DTD. The bug allows for a
denial of service attack in applications that allow DTD processing and do
not prevent external DTD usage, and could conceivably result in remote code
execution.
