Hi! 👋

Please upgrade bundled Expat to 2.7.1 (e.g. for the fix to what can be argued aregression that came with the fix forCVE-2024-8176 in Expat 2.7.0).

• GitHub release:https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/releases/tag/R_2_7_1
• Change log:https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_7_1/expat/Changes

The CPython issue for previous 2.7.0 was#131261 and the related merged main pull request was#131272, in case you want to have a look. TheDockerfile from comment#123689 (review) could be of help with raising confidence in a bump pull request when going forward.

Thanks in advance!
