[slackware-security]  expat (SSA:2024-312-01)

New expat packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/expat-2.6.4-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes bugs and a security issue:
  Fix crash within function XML_ResumeParser from a NULL pointer dereference
  by disallowing function XML_StopParser to (stop or) suspend an unstarted
  parser. A new error code XML_ERROR_NOT_STARTED was introduced to properly
  communicate this situation.
  For more information, see:
    https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-50602
  (* Security fix *)
