      could you help to reply this question?

Hi,
the upstream patch for CVE-2009-2625 for xerces-j2 is  java-only [1] and
unrelated to fixes in other native C parsing libraries.

hi,

mandriva and gentoo used CVE-2009-2625 as their reference CVE for the
expat fixes.  debian is also currently tracking the issue with this
CVE for the time being.  however, we have not yet released fixed
packages.
