 	NOTE: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1379556
 	NOTE: Upstream commit: https://github.com/eserte/image-info/commit/781625b643bc05ba92127a4554de7910f3f2f8e6
 	NOTE: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/11/02/1
+	NOTE: Older versions of libimage-info-perl only can use XML::Simple.
+	NOTE: Controlling XXE processing behavior in XML::Simple is not really
+	NOTE: possible (see https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83794),
+	NOTE: so as a workaround the underlying SAX parser is fixed to
+	NOTE: XML::SAX::PurePerl which is uncapable of processing external entities
+	NOTE: but unfortunately it is also a slow parser.
