Hello everyone!


(A *longer* blog-post version of this e-mail is available online at
  https://blog.hartwork.org/posts/expat-2-5-0-released/ .)

Expat 2.5.0 [1] has been released earlier today.  Most importantly, this
release fixes CVE-2022-43680: a heap use-after-free vulnerability with
expected impact of denial of service or potentially arbitrary code
execution.  For more details, please check out the change log [2].

If you maintain Expat packaging or a bundled copy of Expat or a pinned
version of Expat somewhere, please update to 2.5.0.  Thank you!

Best



Sebastian Pipping
