[mapguide-announce] Fusion security fix

[Jackie Ng]

A security fix is available for Fusion that plugs up a security hole in
XML2JSON.php to prevent XML External Entity injection attacks and should be
applied as soon as possible. This fix has been made available for Fusion
for *MapGuide Open Source 2.2* and newer releases.

To apply this fix, locate the appropriate patch archive for your applicable
version of MapGuide Open Source, and extract the *XML2JSON.php* within that
zip file to the *common\php* directory of your Fusion installation,
overwriting the existing XML2JSON.php file.

For example on Windows, if your fusion installation is in *C:\Program
Files\OSGeo\MapGuide\Web\www\fusion*, then extract the zip file into
*C:\Program
Files\OSGeo\MapGuide\Web\www\fusion\common\php* and overwrite the existing
XML2JSON.php file

For example on Linux, if your fusion installation is in
*/usr/local/mapguideopensource-x.y.z/webserverextensions/www/fusion*, then
extract the zip file into
*/usr/local/mapguideopensource-x.y.z/webserverextensions/www/fusion/common/php*
and
overwrite the existing XML2JSON.php file
