Summary
expat security update
Details

expat is a stream-oriented XML parser library written in C. expat excels with files too large to fit RAM, and where performance and flexibility are crucial.

Security Fix(es):

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in storeAtts.(CVE-2026-56403)

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in addBinding.(CVE-2026-56404)

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in getAttributeId.(CVE-2026-56405)

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in XML_ParseBuffer because it lacked a check that was present in XML_Parse.(CVE-2026-56406)

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in doProlog that is related to storeEntityValue and entity textLen.(CVE-2026-56407)

libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in copyString.(CVE-2026-56408)

xmlwf in libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow for the output filename when -d outputDir is used.(CVE-2026-56409)

xmlwf in libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in resolveSystemId.(CVE-2026-56410)

xmlwf in libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in endDoctypeDecl via NOTATION declarations.(CVE-2026-56411)

libexpat before 2.8.2 does not consider XML_TOK_DATA_CHARS in doCdataSection and thus lacks handler call depth tracking for various calls from within handlers in cases of a policy violation. Thus, a use-after-free can occur. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-50219.(CVE-2026-56412)

Severity
