26 Security fixes:
27 #562 CVE-2022-25235 -- Passing malformed 2- and 3-byte UTF-8
28 sequences (e.g. from start tag names) to the XML
29 processing application on top of Expat can cause
30 arbitrary damage (e.g. code execution) depending
31 on how invalid UTF-8 is handled inside the XML
32 processor; validation was not their job but Expat's.
33 Exploits with code execution are known to exist.
34 #561 CVE-2022-25236 -- Passing (one or more) namespace separator
35 characters in "xmlns[:prefix]" attribute values
36 made Expat send malformed tag names to the XML
37 processor on top of Expat which can cause
38 arbitrary damage (e.g. code execution) depending
39 on such unexpectable cases are handled inside the XML
40 processor; validation was not their job but Expat's.
41 Exploits with code execution are known to exist.
42 #558 CVE-2022-25313 -- Fix stack exhaustion in doctype parsing
43 that could be triggered by e.g. a 2 megabytes
44 file with a large number of opening braces.
45 Expected impact is denial of service or potentially
46 arbitrary code execution.
47 #560 CVE-2022-25314 -- Fix integer overflow in function copyString;
48 only affects the encoding name parameter at parser creation
49 time which is often hardcoded (rather than user input),
50 takes a value in the gigabytes to trigger, and a 64-bit
51 machine. Expected impact is denial of service.
52 #559 CVE-2022-25315 -- Fix integer overflow in function storeRawNames;
53 needs input in the gigabytes and a 64-bit machine.
54 Expected impact is denial of service or potentially
55 arbitrary code execution.

71 (undefined behavior) in function XML_GetBuffer
72 (that is also called by function XML_Parse internally)
73 for when XML_CONTEXT_BYTES is defined to >0 (which is both
74 common and default).
75 Impact is denial of service or more.
76 #551 CVE-2022-23990 -- Fix unsigned integer overflow in function
77 doProlog triggered by large content in element type
78 declarations when there is an element declaration handler
79 present (from a prior call to XML_SetElementDeclHandler).

187Release 2.4.0 Sun May 23 2021
188 Security fixes:
189 #34 #466 #484 CVE-2013-0340/CWE-776 -- Protect against billion laughs attacks
190 (denial-of-service; flavors targeting CPU time or RAM or both,
191 leveraging general entities or parameter entities or both)
192 by tracking and limiting the input amplification factor
193 (<amplification> := (<direct> + <indirect>) / <direct>).
194 By conservative default, amplification up to a factor of 100.0
195 is tolerated and rejection only starts after 8 MiB of output bytes
196 (=<direct> + <indirect>) have been processed.
197 The fix adds the following to the API:
198 - A new error code XML_ERROR_AMPLIFICATION_LIMIT_BREACH to
199 signals this specific condition.
200 - Two new API functions ..
201 - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionMaximumAmplification and
202 - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionActivationThreshold
203 .. to further tighten billion laughs protection parameters
204 when desired. Please see file "doc/reference.html" for details.
205 If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
206 payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.
207 - Two new XML_FEATURE_* constants ..
208 - that can be queried using the XML_GetFeatureList function, and
209 - that are shown in "xmlwf -v" output.
210 - Two new environment variable switches ..
211 - EXPAT_ACCOUNTING_DEBUG=(0|1|2|3) and
212 - EXPAT_ENTITY_DEBUG=(0|1)
213 .. for runtime debugging of accounting and entity processing.
214 Specific behavior of these values may change in the future.
215 - Two new command line arguments "-a FACTOR" and "-b BYTES"
216 for xmlwf to further tighten billion laughs protection
217 parameters when desired.
218 If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
219 payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.
220
221 Bug fixes:
222 #332 #470 For (non-default) compilation with -DEXPAT_MIN_SIZE=ON (CMake)

Elliott Hughesf648a292021-04-01 15:10:13 -0700266Release 2.3.0 Thu March 25 2021
267 Bug fixes:
268 #438 When calling XML_ParseBuffer without a prior successful call to
269 XML_GetBuffer as a user, no longer trigger undefined behavior
270 (by adding an integer to a NULL pointer) but rather return
271 XML_STATUS_ERROR and set the error code to (new) code
272 XML_ERROR_NO_BUFFER. Found by UBSan (UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer)
273 of Clang 11 (but not Clang 9).
274 #444 xmlwf: Exit status 2 was used for both:
275 - malformed input files (documented) and
276 - invalid command-line arguments (undocumented).
277 The case of invalid command-line arguments now
278 has its own exit status 4, resolving the ambiguity.
279
280 Other changes:
281 #439 xmlwf: Add argument -k to allow continuing after
282 non-fatal errors
283 #439 xmlwf: Add section about exit status to the -h help output

287 #382 #428 testrunner: Make verbose mode (argument "-v") report
288 about passed tests, and make default mode report about
289 failures, as well.
290 #442 CMake: Call "enable_language(CXX)" prior to tinkering
291 with CMAKE_CXX_* variables
292 #448 Document use of libexpat from a CMake-based project
293 #451 Autotools: Install CMake files as generated by CMake 3.19.6
294 so that users with "find_package(expat [..] CONFIG [..])"
295 are served on distributions that are *not* using the CMake
296 build system inside for libexpat packaging
297 #436 #437 Autotools: Drop obsolescent macro AC_HEADER_STDC
298 #450 #452 Autotools: Resolve use of obsolete macro AC_CONFIG_HEADER
299 #441 Address compiler warnings
300 #443 Version info bumped from 7:12:6 to 8:0:7

958
Elliott Hughesd07d5a72009-09-25 16:04:37 -0700959Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -0700960 - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
Elliott Hughesd07d5a72009-09-25 16:04:37 -0700961 of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
962 stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
963 - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
964 some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
965 - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
966 - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
967 - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.

The Android Open Source Projectb80e2872009-03-03 19:29:30 -0800980Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
981 - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
982 always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
983 - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
984 - Fixed headers for use from C++.
985 - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
986 now return unsigned integers.
987 - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
988 byte indexes and line/column numbers.

994Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
995 - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
996 that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
997 altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
998 documentation for more details.
999 - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
1000 longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -07001001 include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,

1004Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
1005 - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
1006 times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
1007 - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
1008 convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
1009 to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
1010 implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
1011 other than the default convention for the host platform.
1012 - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
1013 expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
1014 which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -07001015 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,

1037 events that were already handled by another handler.
1038 Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
1039 - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
1040 linking into a DLL to be difficult.
1041 - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
1042 - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
1043 no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
1044 - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
Elliott Hughes35e432d2012-09-09 14:23:38 -07001045 - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,

1108 Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
1109 standard malloc,realloc, and free.
1110 - XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
1111 If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
