[jira] [Updated] (XERCESC-2082) Xerces download verification impossible

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2082?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Arne Ton updated XERCESC-2082:
------------------------------
    Description: As a windows user (software developer) I'd like to verify my Xerces download archive, this is also said on Apache website. However, the explanation on how to do it is incomprehensible for a normal guy like me without enough qualifications in Nerdish. I have successfully validated downloads from other sources.   (was: Vulnerabilities were reported to the project that led to the discovery of several buffer overflows.

The issue was publically disclosed as CVE-2016-0729)
