How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 expat to version 0:2.2.5-4.el8_5.3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream expat package and not the expat package as distributed by Centos:8. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, a left shift by 29 (or more) places in the storeAtts function in xmlparse.c can lead to realloc misbehavior (e.g., allocating too few bytes, or only freeing memory).
