+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #277872 +++

Please see the blocker for vulnerability details.

Upstram Bug: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47526
Patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=794013

It seems they disallow HMAC truncation completely, so this is a sufficient patch for the vulnerability.

Note that since the ebuild is in an overlay, the Security Team will not be tracking this issue via our usual procedures. This is a regular Java herd bug.

    dev-java/xml-security: Moved to Portage a while ago. Removing from overlay. Fixes bug 277873.

No reason to keep it as it already exists in Portage under dev-java/xml-security and we package an up to date version.
