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.

xmltok_impl.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5 lacks certain validation of encoding, such as checks for whether a UTF-8 character is valid in a certain context.
