Multiple integer overflows in libxml2, as used in Google Chrome
before 20.0.1132.43, on 64-bit Linux platforms allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

That's not strictly true. Chromium has applied it to their in-tree fork of libxml2, but it doesn't appear to be applied to libxml2 which is what you're patching here.

I'm now going as far as NACKing this. The fact that a 2012 CVE against a package that is under active development hasn't obviously been merged raised a flag, so I spoke with upstream (crazy, I know!).

Basically libxml 2.9.0 introduced a new buffer system, and the patch is Chromium is actually a simplified version of that code. Thus, if we have libxml 2.9.0 onwards we don't need this patch.
