Slackware Security[slackware-security] expat (SSA:2024-312-01)
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-2.6.4-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes bugs and a security issue:
Fix crash within function XML_ResumeParser from a NULL pointer dereference
by disallowing function XML_StopParser to (stop or) suspend an unstarted
parser. A new error code XML_ERROR_NOT_STARTED was introduced to properly
communicate this situation.
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)
