Hello oss-security,


just a quick note that libexpat 2.7.5 (or "Expat 2.7.5") released
today is fixing three vulnerabilities.

Some key links are:

- The blog post about it:
   https://blog.hartwork.org/posts/expat-2-7-5-released/

I note the blog post also reminds us:

  "So much for the fixed vulnerabilities. There are also three known unfixed
   security issues remaining in libexpat, and there is a GitHub issue listing
   known unfixed security issues in libexpat for anyone interested."

with a link to https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/issues/1160 inline.
