-
-One of the operation on the reader could resolve entities
-leading to the classic expansion issue. Make sure the
-buffer used for xmlreader operation is bounded.
-Introduce a new allocation type for the buffers for this effect.

-Subject: [PATCH] Stop parsing on entities boundaries errors
-
-For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744980
-
-There are times, like on unterminated entities that it's preferable to
-stop parsing, even if that means less error reporting. Entities are
-feeding the parser on further processing, and if they are ill defined
-then it's possible to get the parser to bug. Also do the same on
-Conditional Sections if the input is broken, as the structure of
-the document can't be guessed.

-Subject: [PATCH] Cleanup conditional section error handling
-
-For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744980
-
-The error handling of Conditional Section also need to be
-straightened as the structure of the document can't be
-guessed on a failure there and it's better to stop parsing
-as further errors are likely to be irrelevant.
