Comment 1 Steven Haigh 2014-04-23 05:12:06 UTC

It looks like this is still vulnerable from 2011 and has never been updated.

Can anyone confirm that this is still a problem and has not been patched in the EPEL packages?

Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2014-04-23 07:16:02 UTC

The latest built in epel-6 is xmlsec1-1.2.16-2.el6, from 2010, and pre-dates this bug report.
