Amendment

The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:25.10.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cadaver package and not the cadaver package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The updatePosition function in lib/xmltok_impl.c in libexpat in Expat 2.0.1, as used in Python, PyXML, w3c-libwww, and other software, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an XML document with crafted UTF-8 sequences that trigger a buffer over-read, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-2625.
