How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:21.10 expat to version 2.4.1-2ubuntu0.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream expat package and not the expat package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:21.10 relevant fixed versions and status.

xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5 allows attackers to insert namespace-separator characters into namespace URIs.
