    Debian Bug     : 1063238 1080149 1080150 1080152

    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in expat, an XML parsing C library,
    which could lead to Denial of Service, memory corruption or arbitrary
    code execution.

    CVE-2023-52425

        Snild Dolkow discovered that when parsing a large token that
        requires multiple buffer fills to complete, expat has to re-parse
        the token from start multiple times, which could lead to Denial of
        Service via resource exhaustion.

    CVE-2024-45490

        TaiYou discovered that xmlparse.c does not reject a negative length
        for XML_ParseBuffer(), which may cause memory corruption or code
        execution.

    CVE-2024-45491

        TaiYou discovered that xmlparse.c has an integer overflow for
        `nDefaultAtts` on 32-bit platforms, which may cause denial of
        service or code execution.

    CVE-2024-45492

        TaiYou discovered that xmlparse.c has an integer overflow for
        `m_groupSize` on 32-bit platforms, which may cause denial of service
        or code execution.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    2.2.10-2+deb11u6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your expat packages.
