Bug#661949: libxml-atom-perl: security issue with external entities

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Package: libxml-atom-perl
Version: 0.37-1
Severity: important
Tags: security

XML::Atom 0.39 contains the following changelog entry:

0.39  2011.06.20
    * Disabled external entities and network to avoid possible security flaw (yannk)

Unfortunately no more details are readily available. As such, it's not
clear whether this is something which should be applied to squeeze,
but it probably warrants further investigation.
