Based on the above -^ I would vote for separate CVE identifier for expat
flaw
(and its embedded copies in dozen of packages):

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280615#c8
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280615#c10

As far as we understand, the expat flaw in question is in no way related
to CVE-2009-2625, or other recent XML parser flaws. Therefore our take
is that it should have a distinct CVE entry.

So use CVE-2009-3720 for this
