+Subject: [PATCH] lib: Waterproof `copyString` from integer overflow
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-56408
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/commit/16e2efd867ea8567ffa012210b52ef5918e20817]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Adapt the fix to Expat 2.7.5, which calculates charsRequired using
+ an existing loop instead of xcslen. The upstream string helper
+ refactoring is not required for the overflow guard.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 16e2efd867ea8567ffa012210b52ef5918e20817)
