+Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Do not URI escape in server side includes"
+
+This reverts commit 960f0e275616cadc29671a218d7fb9b69eb35588.
+
+This commit introduced
+
+- an infinite loop, found by OSS-Fuzz, which could be easily fixed.
+- an algorithm with quadratic runtime
+- a security issue, see
+  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769760
+
+A better approach is to add an option not to escape URLs at all
+which libxml2 should have possibly done in the first place.
+
+CVE: CVE-2016-3709
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2/commit/c1ba6f54d32b707ca6d91cb3257ce9de82876b6f]
