Subject: [OE-core][scarthgap][PATCH 01/10] expat: fix CVE-2026-56403
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 11:34:28 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717060437.2910653-2-deeratho@cisco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717060437.2910653-1-deeratho@cisco.com>
From: Deepak Rathore <deeratho@cisco.com>
These patches apply the upstream fixes shown in [1] and [2], as
referenced by [3].
Upstream pull request mentioned in [4] contains both the storeAtts fix
and the related xcsdup overflow hardening so adding both source patches
explicit, even though the published advisory description names storeAtts
specifically.
