CVE-2009-3720 expat: buffer over-read and crash on XML with malformed 
UTF-8 sequences
CVE-2009-3560 expat: buffer over-read and crash in big2_toUtf8() on XML 
with malformed UTF-8 sequences

Two buffer over-read flaws were found in the way Expat handled malformed
UTF-8 sequences when processing XML files. A specially-crafted XML file
could cause applications using Expat to crash while parsing the file.
(CVE-2009-3560, CVE-2009-3720)

After installing the updated packages, applications using the Expat 
library must be restarted for the update to take effect.
