expat: set CVE_STATUS for CVE-2026-72522
CVE-2026-72522 is an out-of-bounds read and infinite loop vulnerability in Expat's *_toUtf16 functions caused by mis-classifying low surrogates as high surrogates. Our Yocto configuration is not affected by this vulnerability: - Expat is compiled with EXPAT_CHAR_TYPE=char (8-bit character representation). - Neither XML_UNICODE nor XML_UNICODE_WCHAR_T is defined. - The vulnerable *_toUtf16 functions are only invoked when Expat's internal character type is 16-bit (ushort or wchar_t). - In 8-bit mode, Expat handles conversion using *_toUtf8 functions even when parsing UTF-16 encoded XML inputs, rendering the vulnerable code path unreachable.
