  10. !! The following topics need *additional skilled C developers* to progress !!
  11. !! in a timely manner or at all (loosely ordered by descending priority): !!
  12. !! !!
  13. !! - <blink>fixing a complex non-public security issue</blink>, !!
  14. !! - teaming up on researching and fixing future security reports and !!
  15. !! ClusterFuzz findings with few-days-max response times in communication !!
  16. !! in order to (1) have a sound fix ready before the end of a 90 days !!
  17. !! grace period and (2) in a sustainable manner, !!
  18. !! - implementing and auto-testing XML 1.0r5 support !!
  19. !! (needs discussion before pull requests), !!
  20. !! - smart ideas on fixing the Autotools CMake files generation issue !!
  21. !! without breaking CI (needs discussion before pull requests), !!
  22. !! - the Windows binaries topic (needs requirements engineering first), !!
  23. !! - pushing migration from `int` to `size_t` further !!
  24. !! including edge-cases test coverage (needs discussion before anything). !!

  124. that can cause denial of service, in partial where
  125. dealing with compressed XML input. Applications
  126. that parsed a document in one go -- a single call to
  127. functions XML_Parse or XML_ParseBuffer -- were not affected.
  128. The smaller the chunks/buffers you use for parsing
  129. previously, the bigger the problem prior to the fix.
  130. Backporters should be careful to no omit parts of
  131. pull request #789 and to include earlier pull request #771,
  132. in order to not break the fix.
  133. #777 CVE-2023-52426 -- Fix billion laughs attacks for users
  134. compiling *without* XML_DTD defined (which is not common).

  139. external entities that start with a byte order mark

  141. XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate for compilation with
  142. XML_DTD undefined

  530. #34 #466 #484 CVE-2013-0340/CWE-776 -- Protect against billion laughs attacks
  531. (denial-of-service; flavors targeting CPU time or RAM or both,
  532. leveraging general entities or parameter entities or both)
  533. by tracking and limiting the input amplification factor
  534. (<amplification> := (<direct> + <indirect>) / <direct>).

  536. is tolerated and rejection only starts after 8 MiB of output bytes
  537. (=<direct> + <indirect>) have been processed.
  538. The fix adds the following to the API:
  539. - A new error code XML_ERROR_AMPLIFICATION_LIMIT_BREACH to
  540. signals this specific condition.
  541. - Two new API functions ..
  542. - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionMaximumAmplification and
  543. - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionActivationThreshold
  544. .. to further tighten billion laughs protection parameters
  545. when desired. Please see file "doc/reference.html" for details.
  546. If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
  547. payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.
  548. - Two new XML_FEATURE_* constants ..
  549. - that can be queried using the XML_GetFeatureList function, and
  550. - that are shown in "xmlwf -v" output.
  551. - Two new environment variable switches ..
  552. - EXPAT_ACCOUNTING_DEBUG=(0|1|2|3) and
  553. - EXPAT_ENTITY_DEBUG=(0|1)
  554. .. for runtime debugging of accounting and entity processing.
  555. Specific behavior of these values may change in the future.
  556. - Two new command line arguments "-a FACTOR" and "-b BYTES"
  557. for xmlwf to further tighten billion laughs protection
  558. parameters when desired.
  559. If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
  560. payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.
  561. Bug fixes:
  562. #332 #470 For (non-default) compilation with -DEXPAT_MIN_SIZE=ON (CMake)

  604. Bug fixes:
  605. #438 When calling XML_ParseBuffer without a prior successful call to
  606. XML_GetBuffer as a user, no longer trigger undefined behavior
  607. (by adding an integer to a NULL pointer) but rather return
  608. XML_STATUS_ERROR and set the error code to (new) code

  610. of Clang 11 (but not Clang 9).
  611. #444 xmlwf: Exit status 2 was used for both:

  627. with CMAKE_CXX_* variables
  628. #448 Document use of libexpat from a CMake-based project
  629. #451 Autotools: Install CMake files as generated by CMake 3.19.6

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

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

  727. when called from inside of an end element handler
  728. #341 xmlwf: Fix exit code for operation without "-d DIRECTORY";

  730. exit code:
  731. # xmlwf -d . <<<'<not well-formed>' 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
  732. 2

  1241. bug #3496608 to randomize hash parameters.
  1242. When compiled with XML_ATTR_INFO defined, adds new API member
  1243. XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte
  1244. offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384).
  1245. Added CMake build system.
  1246. See bug #2990652 and patch #3312568.
  1247. Added run-benchmark target to Makefile.in - relies on testdata module
  1248. present in the same relative location as in the repository.
  1249. Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
  1250. - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
  1251. of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
  1252. stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
  1253. - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
  1254. some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
  1255. - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
  1256. - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
  1257. - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
  1258. - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:
  1259. bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322.
  1260. - Build fixes for various platforms:
  1261. HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
  1262. All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
  1263. #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
  1264. without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
  1265. #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
  1266. - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
  1267. bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
  1268. - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
  1269. Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
  1270. - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
  1271. always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
  1272. - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
  1273. - Fixed headers for use from C++.
  1274. - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
  1275. now return unsigned integers.
  1276. - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
  1277. byte indexes and line/column numbers.
  1278. - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
  1279. - Added support for AmigaOS.
  1280. - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
  1281. #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.
  1282. Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
  1283. - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
  1284. that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
  1285. altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
  1286. documentation for more details.
  1287. - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
  1288. longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
  1289. include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
  1290. #928113, #961698, #985192.
  1291. Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
  1292. - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
  1293. times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
  1294. - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
  1295. convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
  1296. to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
  1297. implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
  1298. other than the default convention for the host platform.
  1299. - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
  1300. expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
  1301. which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
  1302. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
  1303. #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,
  1304. #820946.
  1305. - Improved hash table lookups.
  1306. - Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
  1307. Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
  1308. - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
  1309. - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
  1310. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863,
  1311. #618199, #653180, #673791.
  1312. - Enhanced the regression test suite.
  1313. - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.
  1314. Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
  1315. - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
  1316. - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
  1317. - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
  1318. - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
  1319. (may not retain).
  1320. - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
  1321. - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
  1322. events that were already handled by another handler.
  1323. Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
  1324. - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
  1325. linking into a DLL to be difficult.
  1326. - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
  1327. - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
  1328. no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
