Details:
USN-5638-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Expat. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.

Rhodri James discovered that Expat incorrectly handled memory when
processing certain malformed XML files. An attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code.
