+Subject: [PATCH] Fix NULL function-pointer dereference for empty external
+ parameter entities
+
+When an external parameter entity with empty text is referenced inside
+an entity declaration value, the sub-parser created to handle it receives
+0 bytes of input.  Processing enters entityValueInitProcessor which calls
+storeEntityValue() with the parser's encoding; since no bytes were ever
+processed, encoding detection has not yet occurred and the encoding is
+still the initial probing encoding set up by XmlInitEncoding().  That
+encoding only populates scanners[] (for prolog and content), not
+literalScanners[].  XmlEntityValueTok() calls through
+literalScanners[XML_ENTITY_VALUE_LITERAL] which is NULL, causing a
+SEGV.
+
+Skip the tokenization loop entirely when entityTextPtr >= entityTextEnd,
+and initialize the `next` pointer before the early exit so that callers
+(callStoreEntityValue) receive a valid value through nextPtr.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-32776
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/commit/5be25657583ea91b09025c858b4785834c20f59c]
