+----------------+
Mon May 21 16:35:38 EDT 2018
xapps-extra/palemoon upgraded from 27.9.1 to 27.9.2 to fix several security
	issues:

		a buffer overflow and crash if it occurs.
	(CVE-2018-5159) Fixed an integer overflow vulnerability in the Skia
		library resulting in possible out-of-bounds writes.
	(CVE-2018-5154) Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability while enumerating
		attributes during SVG animations with clip paths.
	(CVE-2018-5178) Fixed a buffer overflow during UTF8 to Unicode string
		conversion within JavaScript with extremely large amounts of
		data. This vulnerability requires the use of a malicious or
		vulnerable extension in order to occur.
	Fixed several stability issues (crashes) and memory safety hazards.
