NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream expat package and not the expat package as distributed by Debian.

Expat allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed input document, which triggers a buffer overflow.
