How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:24.10 xmlrpc-c.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xmlrpc-c package and not the xmlrpc-c package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:24.10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In libexpat before 2.2.8, crafted XML input could fool the parser into changing from DTD parsing to document parsing too early; a consecutive call to XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber) then resulted in a heap-based buffer over-read.
