+Subject: [PATCH] Bug 757711: heap-buffer-overflow in xmlFAParsePosCharGroup
+ <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757711>
+
+* xmlregexp.c:
+(xmlFAParseCharRange): Only advance to the next character if
+there is no error.  Advancing to the next character in case of
+an error while parsing regexp leads to an out of bounds access.
