libexpat before 2.8.3 has an out-of-bounds read and resultant infinite loop because low surrogates are
treated the same as high surrogates during Unicode processing in the *_toUtf16 functions.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
