libexpat recently fixed a security issue relating to some arithmetic: https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/pull/534

I assume we should take this fix, either by updating our entire bundled copy or just backporting the patch.

Probably. I searched for the CVE number and didn't find it anywhere, but that issue only mentions the new release version.
