NVD Description

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

In libexpat through 2.4.9, there is a use-after free caused by overeager destruction of a shared DTD in XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate in out-of-memory situations.
