Hi Archana, The fix for this CVE consists of 3 commits (fix in file, test to check for issue and doc update) (ref-> https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/pull/890/commits ) Out of which you have backported only 2 (Fix in file and doc update). the commit for "test to check len<0" is not added in the patch is there any specific reason to exclude it ? if not, could you send a v2 incorporting the missing commit too ? BR, Siddharth
