[jira] [Commented] (XERCESC-2188) Use-after-free on external DTD scan

Scott Cantor commented on XERCESC-2188:
---------------------------------------

I have no control over any CVEs, and their total inaccuracy across the board is why I don't use them. Our advisory is accurate so far as I can see but I can adjust that if there's something off in it.

There are not likely to ever be any 4.0 releases, this library is effectively frozen pending a change in committers.
