Package        : expat
CVE ID         : CVE-2022-43680
Debian Bug     : 1022743

A heap use-after-free vulnerability after overeager destruction of a
shared DTD in the XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate function in Expat, an
XML parsing C library, may result in denial of service or potentially
the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.10-2+deb11u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your expat packages.

tracker page at:
