New expat packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/expat-2.4.3-i586-1_slack14.2.txz:  Upgraded.
  Fix issues with left shifts by >=29 places resulting in:
    a) realloc acting as free
    b) realloc allocating too few bytes
    c) undefined behavior
  Fix integer overflow on variable m_groupSize in function doProlog leading
  to realloc acting as free. Impact is denial of service or other undefined
  behavior.
  Prevent integer overflows near memory allocation at multiple places.
