  21. Bug fixes:
  22. #572 #577 Relax fix to CVE-2022-25236 (introduced with release 2.4.5)
  23. with regard to all valid URI characters (RFC 3986),
  24. i.e. the following set (excluding whitespace):
  25. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

  33. require Expat to validate namespace URIs, and that Expat
  34. may do more in that regard in future releases.
  35. If you find need for strict RFC 3986 URI validation on
  36. application level today, https://uriparser.github.io/ may
  37. be of interest.

  69. Security fixes:
  70. #562 CVE-2022-25235 -- Passing malformed 2- and 3-byte UTF-8
  71. sequences (e.g. from start tag names) to the XML
  72. processing application on top of Expat can cause
  73. arbitrary damage (e.g. code execution) depending
  74. on how invalid UTF-8 is handled inside the XML
  75. processor; validation was not their job but Expat's.
  76. Exploits with code execution are known to exist.
  77. #561 CVE-2022-25236 -- Passing (one or more) namespace separator
  78. characters in "xmlns[:prefix]" attribute values
  79. made Expat send malformed tag names to the XML
  80. processor on top of Expat which can cause
  81. arbitrary damage (e.g. code execution) depending
  82. on such unexpectable cases are handled inside the XML
  83. processor; validation was not their job but Expat's.
  84. Exploits with code execution are known to exist.
  85. #558 CVE-2022-25313 -- Fix stack exhaustion in doctype parsing
  86. that could be triggered by e.g. a 2 megabytes
  87. file with a large number of opening braces.
  88. Expected impact is denial of service or potentially
  89. arbitrary code execution.
  90. #560 CVE-2022-25314 -- Fix integer overflow in function copyString;
  91. only affects the encoding name parameter at parser creation
  92. time which is often hardcoded (rather than user input),
  93. takes a value in the gigabytes to trigger, and a 64-bit
  94. machine. Expected impact is denial of service.
  95. #559 CVE-2022-25315 -- Fix integer overflow in function storeRawNames;
  96. needs input in the gigabytes and a 64-bit machine.

  114. common and default).
  115. Impact is denial of service or more.
  116. #551 CVE-2022-23990 -- Fix unsigned integer overflow in function
  117. doProlog triggered by large content in element type
  118. declarations when there is an element declaration handler
  119. present (from a prior call to XML_SetElementDeclHandler).
  120. Impact is denial of service or more.

  145. on a single XML tag a la
  146. "<r xmlns:a='[..]' a:a123='[..]' [..] />"
  147. where XML_ParserCreateNS is used to create the parser
  148. (which needs argument "-n" when running xmlwf).
  149. Impact is denial of service, or more.
  150. #532 #538 CVE-2021-46143 (ZDI-CAN-16157) -- Fix integer overflow

  218. leveraging general entities or parameter entities or both)
  219. by tracking and limiting the input amplification factor
  220. (<amplification> := (<direct> + <indirect>) / <direct>).
  221. By conservative default, amplification up to a factor of 100.0
  222. is tolerated and rejection only starts after 8 MiB of output bytes
  223. (=<direct> + <indirect>) have been processed.
  224. The fix adds the following to the API:
  225. - A new error code XML_ERROR_AMPLIFICATION_LIMIT_BREACH to
  226. signals this specific condition.
  227. - Two new API functions ..
  228. - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionMaximumAmplification and
  229. - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionActivationThreshold
  230. .. to further tighten billion laughs protection parameters
  231. when desired. Please see file "doc/reference.html" for details.
  232. If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
  233. payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.

  289. Bug fixes:
  290. #438 When calling XML_ParseBuffer without a prior successful call to
  291. XML_GetBuffer as a user, no longer trigger undefined behavior
  292. (by adding an integer to a NULL pointer) but rather return
  293. XML_STATUS_ERROR and set the error code to (new) code

  312. with CMAKE_CXX_* variables
  313. #448 Document use of libexpat from a CMake-based project
  314. #451 Autotools: Install CMake files as generated by CMake 3.19.6

  316. are served on distributions that are *not* using the CMake
  317. build system inside for libexpat packaging

  396. fixed in 1.95.3, issue #61 on SourceForge today,
  397. was issue #432456 back then); needs a fix due
  398. case-insensitive file systems on Windows and the fact that

  412. when called from inside of an end element handler
  413. #341 xmlwf: Fix exit code for operation without "-d DIRECTORY";

  937. stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
  938. - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
  939. some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
  940. - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
  941. - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
  942. - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
  943. - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:

  948. #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
  949. without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
  950. #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
  951. - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
  952. bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
  953. - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
  954. Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
  955. - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
  956. always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
  957. - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
  958. - Fixed headers for use from C++.
  959. - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
  960. now return unsigned integers.
  961. - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
  962. byte indexes and line/column numbers.
  963. - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
  964. - Added support for AmigaOS.
  965. - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
  966. #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.
  967. Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
  968. - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
  969. that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
  970. altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
  971. documentation for more details.
  972. - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
  973. longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
  974. include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
  975. #928113, #961698, #985192.
  976. Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
  977. - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
  978. times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
  979. - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
  980. convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
  981. to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
  982. implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
  983. other than the default convention for the host platform.
  984. - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
  985. expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
  986. which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
  987. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
  988. #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,
  989. #820946.

  991. - Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
  992. Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
  993. - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
  994. - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
  995. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863,
  996. #618199, #653180, #673791.
  997. - Enhanced the regression test suite.
  998. - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.
  999. Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
  1000. - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
  1001. - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
  1002. - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
  1003. - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
  1004. (may not retain).
  1005. - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
  1006. - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
  1007. events that were already handled by another handler.
  1008. Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
  1009. - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
  1010. linking into a DLL to be difficult.
  1011. - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
  1012. - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
  1013. no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
  1014. - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
