expat (SSA:2025-260-01)

New expat packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/expat-2.7.2-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
Disallow use of disproportional amounts of dynamic memory from within an
Expat parser (e.g. previously a ~250 KiB sized document was able to cause
allocation of ~800 MiB from the heap, i.e. an "amplification" of factor
~3,300); once a threshold (that defaults to 64 MiB) is reached, a maximum
amplification factor (that defaults to 100.0) is enforced, and violating
documents are rejected with an out-of-memory error.
