Hi! 👋

Please upgrade bundled Expat to 2.6.3 (e.g. for the fixes to CVE-2024-45490, CVE-2024-45491 and CVE-2024-45492).

• GitHub release: https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/releases/tag/R_2_6_3
• Change log: https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_6_3/expat/Changes

The CPython issue for previous 2.6.2 was #116741 and the related merged main pull request was #117296, in case you want to have a look. The Dockerfile from comment #117296 (review) could be of help with raising confidence in a bump pull request when going forward.

Thanks in advance!
