Hrm, I would have thought CVE-2013-0339 was for the entities expansion DoS issue
fixed by this commit:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=23f05e0c33987d6605387b300c4be5da2120a7ab

The other one is for external entities expansion being enabled by default with
no way to turn it off. You would lump them together?
