!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!! <blink>Expat is UNDERSTAFFED and WITHOUT FUNDING.</blink> !!
!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ !!
!! The following topics need *additional skilled C developers* to progress !!
!! in a timely manner or at all (loosely ordered by descending priority): !!
!! !!
!! - <blink>fixing a complex non-public security issue</blink>, !!
!! - teaming up on researching and fixing future security reports and !!
!! ClusterFuzz findings with few-days-max response times in communication !!
!! in order to (1) have a sound fix ready before the end of a 90 days !!
!! grace period and (2) in a sustainable manner, !!
!! - implementing and auto-testing XML 1.0r5 support !!
!! (needs discussion before pull requests), !!
!! - smart ideas on fixing the Autotools CMake files generation issue !!
!! without breaking CI (needs discussion before pull requests), !!
!! - the Windows binaries topic (needs requirements engineering first), !!
!! - pushing migration from `int` to `size_t` further !!
!! including edge-cases test coverage (needs discussion before anything). !!
!! !!
!! For details, please reach out via e-mail to sebastian@pipping.org so we !!

Release 2.6.3 Wed September 4 2024
Security fixes:
#887 #890 CVE-2024-45490 -- Calling function XML_ParseBuffer with
len < 0 without noticing and then calling XML_GetBuffer
will have XML_ParseBuffer fail to recognize the problem
and XML_GetBuffer corrupt memory.
With the fix, XML_ParseBuffer now complains with error
XML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT just like sibling XML_Parse
has been doing since Expat 2.2.1, and now documented.
Impact is denial of service to potentially artitrary code
execution.
#888 #891 CVE-2024-45491 -- Internal function dtdCopy can have an
integer overflow for nDefaultAtts on 32-bit platforms
(where UINT_MAX equals SIZE_MAX).
Impact is denial of service to potentially artitrary code
execution.
#889 #892 CVE-2024-45492 -- Internal function nextScaffoldPart can
have an integer overflow for m_groupSize on 32-bit
platforms (where UINT_MAX equals SIZE_MAX).
Impact is denial of service to potentially artitrary code
execution.

Release 2.6.0 Tue February 6 2024
Security fixes:
#789 #814 CVE-2023-52425 -- Fix quadratic runtime issues with big tokens
that can cause denial of service, in partial where
dealing with compressed XML input. Applications
that parsed a document in one go -- a single call to
functions XML_Parse or XML_ParseBuffer -- were not affected.
The smaller the chunks/buffers you use for parsing
previously, the bigger the problem prior to the fix.
Backporters should be careful to no omit parts of
pull request #789 and to include earlier pull request #771,
in order to not break the fix.
#777 CVE-2023-52426 -- Fix billion laughs attacks for users
compiling *without* XML_DTD defined (which is not common).
Users with XML_DTD defined have been protected since
Expat >=2.4.0 (and that was CVE-2013-0340 back then).
Bug fixes:
#753 Fix parse-size-dependent "invalid token" error for
external entities that start with a byte order mark
#780 Fix NULL pointer dereference in setContext via

Bug fixes:
#572 #577 Relax fix to CVE-2022-25236 (introduced with release 2.4.5)
with regard to all valid URI characters (RFC 3986),
i.e. the following set (excluding whitespace):
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
0123456789 % -._~ :/?#[]@ !$&'()*+,;=
Other changes:
#555 #570 #581 CMake|Windows: Store Expat version in the DLL
#577 Document consequences of namespace separator choices not just
in doc/reference.html but also in header <expat.h>
#577 Document Expat's lack of validation of namespace URIs against
RFC 3986, and that the XML 1.0r4 specification doesn't
require Expat to validate namespace URIs, and that Expat
may do more in that regard in future releases.
If you find need for strict RFC 3986 URI validation on
application level today, https://uriparser.github.io/ may
be of interest.
#579 Fix documentation of XML_EndDoctypeDeclHandler in <expat.h>
#575 Document that a call to XML_FreeContentModel can be done at
a later time from outside the element declaration handler
#574 Make hardcoded namespace URIs easier to find in code

Release 2.4.5 Fri February 18 2022
Security fixes:
#562 CVE-2022-25235 -- Passing malformed 2- and 3-byte UTF-8
sequences (e.g. from start tag names) to the XML
processing application on top of Expat can cause
arbitrary damage (e.g. code execution) depending
on how invalid UTF-8 is handled inside the XML
processor; validation was not their job but Expat's.
Exploits with code execution are known to exist.
#561 CVE-2022-25236 -- Passing (one or more) namespace separator
characters in "xmlns[:prefix]" attribute values
made Expat send malformed tag names to the XML
processor on top of Expat which can cause
arbitrary damage (e.g. code execution) depending
on such unexpectable cases are handled inside the XML
processor; validation was not their job but Expat's.
Exploits with code execution are known to exist.
#558 CVE-2022-25313 -- Fix stack exhaustion in doctype parsing
that could be triggered by e.g. a 2 megabytes
file with a large number of opening braces.
Expected impact is denial of service or potentially
arbitrary code execution.
#560 CVE-2022-25314 -- Fix integer overflow in function copyString;
only affects the encoding name parameter at parser creation
time which is often hardcoded (rather than user input),
takes a value in the gigabytes to trigger, and a 64-bit
machine. Expected impact is denial of service.
#559 CVE-2022-25315 -- Fix integer overflow in function storeRawNames;
needs input in the gigabytes and a 64-bit machine.
Expected impact is denial of service or potentially
arbitrary code execution.

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

Release 2.4.0 Sun May 23 2021
Security fixes:
#34 #466 #484 CVE-2013-0340/CWE-776 -- Protect against billion laughs attacks
(denial-of-service; flavors targeting CPU time or RAM or both,
leveraging general entities or parameter entities or both)
by tracking and limiting the input amplification factor
(<amplification> := (<direct> + <indirect>) / <direct>).
By conservative default, amplification up to a factor of 100.0
is tolerated and rejection only starts after 8 MiB of output bytes
(=<direct> + <indirect>) have been processed.
The fix adds the following to the API:
- A new error code XML_ERROR_AMPLIFICATION_LIMIT_BREACH to
signals this specific condition.
- Two new API functions ..
- XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionMaximumAmplification and
- XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionActivationThreshold
.. to further tighten billion laughs protection parameters
when desired. Please see file "doc/reference.html" for details.
If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.
- Two new XML_FEATURE_* constants ..
- that can be queried using the XML_GetFeatureList function, and
- that are shown in "xmlwf -v" output.
- Two new environment variable switches ..
- EXPAT_ACCOUNTING_DEBUG=(0|1|2|3) and
- EXPAT_ENTITY_DEBUG=(0|1)
.. for runtime debugging of accounting and entity processing.
Specific behavior of these values may change in the future.

Release 2.3.0 Thu March 25 2021
Bug fixes:
#438 When calling XML_ParseBuffer without a prior successful call to
XML_GetBuffer as a user, no longer trigger undefined behavior
(by adding an integer to a NULL pointer) but rather return
XML_STATUS_ERROR and set the error code to (new) code
XML_ERROR_NO_BUFFER. Found by UBSan (UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer)
of Clang 11 (but not Clang 9).
#444 xmlwf: Exit status 2 was used for both:
- malformed input files (documented) and
- invalid command-line arguments (undocumented).
The case of invalid command-line arguments now
has its own exit status 4, resolving the ambiguity.
Other changes:
#439 xmlwf: Add argument -k to allow continuing after
non-fatal errors
#439 xmlwf: Add section about exit status to the -h help output
#422 #426 #447 Windows: Drop support for Visual Studio <=14.0/2015
#434 Windows: CMake: Detect unsupported Visual Studio at
configure time (rather than at compile time)
#382 #428 testrunner: Make verbose mode (argument "-v") report
about passed tests, and make default mode report about
failures, as well.
#442 CMake: Call "enable_language(CXX)" prior to tinkering
with CMAKE_CXX_* variables
#448 Document use of libexpat from a CMake-based project
#451 Autotools: Install CMake files as generated by CMake 3.19.6
so that users with "find_package(expat [..] CONFIG [..])"
are served on distributions that are *not* using the CMake
build system inside for libexpat packaging
#436 #437 Autotools: Drop obsolescent macro AC_HEADER_STDC
#450 #452 Autotools: Resolve use of obsolete macro AC_CONFIG_HEADER
#441 Address compiler warnings
#443 Version info bumped from 7:12:6 to 8:0:7
due to addition of error code XML_ERROR_NO_BUFFER
(see https://verbump.de/ for what these numbers do)

e.g. ensure that they have the last word over flags added
while running ./configure
#360 CMake: Create libexpatw.{dll,so} and expatw.pc (with emphasis
on suffix "w") with -DEXPAT_CHAR_TYPE=(ushort|wchar_t)
#360 CMake: Detect and deny unsupported build combinations
involving -DEXPAT_CHAR_TYPE=(ushort|wchar_t)
#360 CMake: Install pre-compiled shipped xmlwf.1 manpage in case
of -DEXPAT_BUILD_DOCS=OFF
#375 #380 #419 CMake: Fix use of Expat by means of add_subdirectory
#407 #408 CMake: Keep expat target name constant at "expat"

Release 2.2.9 Wed September 25 2019
Other changes:
examples: Drop executable bits from elements.c
#349 Windows: Change the name of the Windows DLLs from expat*.dll
to libexpat*.dll once more (regression from 2.2.8, first
fixed in 1.95.3, issue #61 on SourceForge today,
was issue #432456 back then); needs a fix due
case-insensitive file systems on Windows and the fact that
Perl's XML::Parser::Expat compiles into Expat.dll.
#347 Windows: Only define _CRT_RAND_S if not defined

Release 2.2.8 Fri September 13 2019
Security fixes:
#317 #318 CVE-2019-15903 -- Fix heap overflow triggered by
XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber),
and deny internal entities closing the doctype;
fixed in commit c20b758c332d9a13afbbb276d30db1d183a85d43
Bug fixes:
#240 Fix cases where XML_StopParser did not have any effect
when called from inside of an end element handler
#341 xmlwf: Fix exit code for operation without "-d DIRECTORY";
previously, only "-d DIRECTORY" would give you a proper
exit code:
# xmlwf -d . <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
2
# xmlwf <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
0
Now both cases return exit code 2.

XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte
offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384).
Added CMake build system.
See bug #2990652 and patch #3312568.
Added run-benchmark target to Makefile.in - relies on testdata module
present in the same relative location as in the repository.
Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
- Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
- Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
- Minor cleanups of the test harness.
- Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
- Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
- Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:
bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322.
- Build fixes for various platforms:
HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
#1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
#1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
- Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
- Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
- We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
- Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
- Fixed headers for use from C++.
- XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
now return unsigned integers.
- Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
byte indexes and line/column numbers.
- Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
- Added support for AmigaOS.
- Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
#1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.
Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
- Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
documentation for more details.
- Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
#928113, #961698, #985192.
Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
- Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
- Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
other than the default convention for the host platform.
- Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
- Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
#676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,
#820946.
- Improved hash table lookups.
- Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
- Added XML_FreeContentModel().
- Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
- Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863,
#618199, #653180, #673791.
- Enhanced the regression test suite.
- Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.
Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
- Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
- Added XML_GetFeatureList().
- Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
- Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
(may not retain).
- Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
- Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
events that were already handled by another handler.
Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
- Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
linking into a DLL to be difficult.
- Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
- Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
- Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
- Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,
#483514, #580503, #581069, #584041, #584183, #584832, #585537,
#596555, #596678, #598352, #598944, #599715, #600479, #600971.
Release 1.95.4 Fri Jul 12 2002

#564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196.
- Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
- Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
see SF bug report #569461 and SF patch #578161
- Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
see SF bug report #570263 and SF patch #578161
Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
- Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
- Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.
- Added the XML_ParserReset() API function.
- Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names.
- Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!).

- More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single
workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application.
- Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes
xmlwf.exe.
- Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the
Expat version
- Removed a lot of GNU-specific dependencies to aide portability
among the various Unix flavors.
- Fix the UTF-8 BOM bug.
- Cleaned up warning messages for several compilers.
- Added the -Wall, -Wstrict-prototypes options for GCC.
Release 1.95.1 Sun Oct 22 15:11:36 EDT 2000
- Changes to get expat to build under Microsoft compiler
- Removed all aborts and instead return an UNEXPECTED_STATE error.
- Fixed a bug where a stray '%' in an entity value would cause an
abort.
- Defined XML_SetEndNamespaceDeclHandler. Thanks to Darryl Miles for
finding this oversight.
- Changed default patterns in lib/Makefile.in to fit non-GNU makes

Reported by an anonymous user.
Release 1.95.0 Fri Sep 29 2000
- XML_ParserCreate_MM
Allows you to set a memory management suite to replace the
standard malloc,realloc, and free.
- XML_SetReturnNSTriplet
If you turn this feature on when namespace processing is in
effect, then qualified, prefixed element and attribute names
are returned as "uri|name|prefix" where '|' is whatever
separator character is used in namespace processing.
- Merged in features from perl-expat
o XML_SetElementDeclHandler
o XML_SetAttlistDeclHandler
o XML_SetXmlDeclHandler
o XML_SetEntityDeclHandler
o StartDoctypeDeclHandler takes 3 additional parameters:
sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset

now have corresponding individual handler setters
o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of
the current parse position.
- Added reference material
- Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library
