Control: affects -1 + src:xerces-c

[ Reason ]

xerces-c 3.2.3+debian-3 is vulnerable to CVE-2023-37536 (Integer
overflows in DFAContentModel class).  Also, while it ships a mitigation
for CVE-2018-1311, it does so at the expense of a memory leak, cf.
#947431.

These issues have both been fixed in buster LTS.  The “better”
(upstream-vetted) fix for CVE-2018-1311 have also landed in sid via NMU
and migrated to testing last month.

The security team argued the issues didn't warrant a DSA, and suggested
to go via s-pu instead.

[ Impact ]

Buster users will regress when upgrading to bullseye.

[ Tests ]

The vulnerabilities reports came with POCs which were checked against:

    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2241
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2188

Also the package runs the upstream test suite at build time.

[ Risks ]

AFAICT no alternative exists.  I think the risk of regression given
the upstream patches cleanly applied.  Also the fixes are already
shipped in buster and sid/trixie.

[ Checklist ]

  [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in oldstable
  [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]

 * Fix CVE-2018-1311: Use-after-free on external DTD scan.  This replaces
   RedHat's mitigation patch (which introduced a memory leak).
   Closes: #947431
 * Fix CVE-2023-37536: Integer overflows in DFAContentModel class.
 * Upstream tests: Cherry-pick upstream patch to fix NetAccessorTest to exit
   with non-zero status in case of error.
