+Subject: [PATCH] lib: Implement tracking of dynamic memory allocations
+
+**PLEASE NOTE** that distributors intending to backport (or cherry-pick)
+this fix need to copy 99% of the related pull request, not just this
+commit, to not end up with a state that literally does both too much and
+too little at the same time. Appending ".diff" to the pull request URL
+could be of help.

+
+CVE: CVE-2025-59375
+
+comment: refreshed the patch to match the source code and removed the 
+test folder (not present in our source). I also moved the changes for
+xmlwf.c and xmlwf_helpgen.py into a separate patch, as they were incompatible
+with the Expat 2.5.0 codebase.
