    "summary": "* SECURITY UPDATE: Out-of-bounds read and resultant infinite loop because low surrogates are treated the same as high surrogates in the *_toUtf16 functions (libexpat before 2.8.3) - debian/patches/CVE-2026-72522.patch: mask the high byte with 0xFC instead of 0xF8 so the split-surrogate guard in DEFINE_UTF16_TO_UTF16 matches only genuine high surrogates (0xD800-0xDBFF) and no longer accepts low ones (0xDC00-0xDFFF); also carries upstream's regression test into tests/runtests.c (2.2.6 has no tests/misc_tests.c), which exercises the wide -DXML_UNICODE build only - CVE-2026-72522",
