CVE-2020-10683 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-10683):
  dom4j before 2.1.3 allows external DTDs and External Entities by default,
  which might enable XXE attacks. However, there is popular external
  documentation from OWASP showing how to enable the safe, non-default
  behavior in any application that uses dom4j.

dom4j-2.1.3 (https://github.com/dom4j/dom4j/tree/version-2.1.3) depends 
on jaxb-api (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/21319).

This however cannot be used before there isn't a solution for using java modules.

Comment 8 Miroslav Šulc gentoo-dev 2021-07-17 12:13:32 UTC
this can go stable. all tests pass, packages depending on dom4j-2.1.3 emerge fine, so it should be safe to stabilize. thanks to vaukai for the great work!

Comment 13 Miroslav Šulc gentoo-dev 2021-10-20 15:23:19 UTC
do we need to create a separate stabilization bug or is it fine to use this one for stabilization?
Comment 14 John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-10-20 18:37:31 UTC
We're already rolling here, so it's fine to let it finish

Resetting sanity check; package list is empty or all packages are done.

Hm, seems we still need to stabilize for arm64 and ppc64
