Patch for libxml2

Fixes CVE-2019-20388, CVE-2020-7595, CVE-2020-24977

As there's no public announcement as far as I can tell I'm not sure how I should go about vuxml entry/entries.

Compile tested on FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #0 r364979 (AMD64)
Poudriere OK 12.1-RELEASE (AMD64)

Hi,

I'm not sure what to put in "entry" #7

Best regards,
Daniel

(In reply to daniel.engberg.lists from comment #2)

I would just take some text from
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-24977 
and look at the related links there, for example https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/178 

Some existing entries in the vuln.xml also just use 
<p>Mitre CVE reports:</p> 
there.

So, I wouldn't spend too much time on that :)

I'll leave it someone who knows vuxml better, it barfs on the URL.

I think we might want to reopen this waiting for a pending fix for

Comment 11 Adriaan de Groot freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-05-03 21:55:47 UTC
There's a patch in GNOME GitLab, 0b3c64d9f2f3e9ce1a98d8f19ee7a763c87e27d5, for the issue mandree@ mentions. It doesn't apply at *all* though, since there's an intervening "make these functions non-recursive" that isn't in the release. So you'd be backporting some large-ish set of commits in order to introduce the problem that that patch then fixes. This seems more like a "wait for next release" thing than anything else.

(Putting back to closed, FIXED since that's the status wrt the original report. I *do* wish that GNOME would put out a new release of the library since it's been about 18 months; however, it looks kind of stagnated with lots of open issues and stale MRs)
