Expat is a set of XML parsing libraries.
In certain out-of-memory situations, Expat may free memory before it should, leading to a use-after-free.
A use-after-free can result in denial of service.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Expat users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/expat-2.5.0"
