CVE-2023-52425

Expat, an XML parsing C library has been found to have an vulnerability that
allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (resource consumption, when
many full reparsings are required in the case of a large tokens.
When parsing a really big token that requires multiple buffer fills to
complete, expat has to re-parse the token from start multiple times, which
takes time. These patches introduce a heuristic that, when having failed on the
same token multiple times, defers further parsing until there’s significantly
more data available.
The patch also introduces an optional API, XML_SetReparseDeferralEnabled() to
disable the new heuristic.
