  4. Release 2.6.0 Tue February 6 2024
  5. Security fixes:
  6. #789 #814 CVE-2023-52425 -- Fix quadratic runtime issues with big tokens
  7. that can cause denial of service, in partial where
  8. dealing with compressed XML input. Applications
  9. that parsed a document in one go -- a single call to
  10. functions XML_Parse or XML_ParseBuffer -- were not affected.
  11. The smaller the chunks/buffers you use for parsing
  12. previously, the bigger the problem prior to the fix.
  13. Backporters should be careful to no omit parts of
  14. pull request #789 and to include earlier pull request #771,
  15. in order to not break the fix.
  16. #777 CVE-2023-52426 -- Fix billion laughs attacks for users
  17. compiling *without* XML_DTD defined (which is not common).
  18. Users with XML_DTD defined have been protected since
  19. Expat >=2.4.0 (and that was CVE-2013-0340 back then).

  21. #753 Fix parse-size-dependent "invalid token" error for
  22. external entities that start with a byte order mark

  24. XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate for compilation with
  25. XML_DTD undefined

  268. sequences (e.g. from start tag names) to the XML
  269. processing application on top of Expat can cause
  270. arbitrary damage (e.g. code execution) depending
  271. on how invalid UTF-8 is handled inside the XML
  272. processor; validation was not their job but Expat's.
  273. Exploits with code execution are known to exist.

  287. #560 CVE-2022-25314 -- Fix integer overflow in function copyString;
  288. only affects the encoding name parameter at parser creation
  289. time which is often hardcoded (rather than user input),
  290. takes a value in the gigabytes to trigger, and a 64-bit
  291. machine. Expected impact is denial of service.

  413. #34 #466 #484 CVE-2013-0340/CWE-776 -- Protect against billion laughs attacks
  414. (denial-of-service; flavors targeting CPU time or RAM or both,
  415. leveraging general entities or parameter entities or both)
  416. by tracking and limiting the input amplification factor
  417. (<amplification> := (<direct> + <indirect>) / <direct>).

  419. is tolerated and rejection only starts after 8 MiB of output bytes
  420. (=<direct> + <indirect>) have been processed.
  421. The fix adds the following to the API:
  422. - A new error code XML_ERROR_AMPLIFICATION_LIMIT_BREACH to
  423. signals this specific condition.
  424. - Two new API functions ..
  425. - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionMaximumAmplification and

  427. .. to further tighten billion laughs protection parameters
  428. when desired. Please see file "doc/reference.html" for details.
  429. If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
  430. payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.
  431. - Two new XML_FEATURE_* constants ..
  432. - that can be queried using the XML_GetFeatureList function, and
  433. - that are shown in "xmlwf -v" output.
  434. - Two new environment variable switches ..
  435. - EXPAT_ACCOUNTING_DEBUG=(0|1|2|3) and
  436. - EXPAT_ENTITY_DEBUG=(0|1)
  437. .. for runtime debugging of accounting and entity processing.
  438. Specific behavior of these values may change in the future.
  439. - Two new command line arguments "-a FACTOR" and "-b BYTES"
  440. for xmlwf to further tighten billion laughs protection
  441. parameters when desired.
  442. If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
  443. payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.

  593. to libexpat*.dll once more (regression from 2.2.8, first
  594. fixed in 1.95.3, issue #61 on SourceForge today,
  595. was issue #432456 back then); needs a fix due
  596. case-insensitive file systems on Windows and the fact that

  1124. bug #3496608 to randomize hash parameters.
  1125. When compiled with XML_ATTR_INFO defined, adds new API member
  1126. XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte
  1127. offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384).
  1128. Added CMake build system.
  1129. See bug #2990652 and patch #3312568.
  1130. Added run-benchmark target to Makefile.in - relies on testdata module
  1131. present in the same relative location as in the repository.
  1132. Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
  1133. - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
  1134. of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
  1135. stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
  1136. - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
  1137. some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
  1138. - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
  1139. - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
  1140. - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
  1141. - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:
  1142. bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322.

  1144. HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
  1145. All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
  1146. #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
  1147. without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
  1148. #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
  1149. - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
  1150. bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
  1151. - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
  1152. Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
  1153. - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
  1154. always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
  1155. - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
  1156. - Fixed headers for use from C++.
  1157. - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
  1158. now return unsigned integers.
  1159. - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
  1160. byte indexes and line/column numbers.
  1161. - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
  1162. - Added support for AmigaOS.
  1163. - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,

  1165. Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
  1166. - Major new feature: suspend/resume. Handlers can now request
  1167. that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
  1168. altogether. See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
  1169. documentation for more details.
  1170. - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
  1171. longer generate warnings on most platforms. SF issues
  1172. include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
  1173. #928113, #961698, #985192.
  1174. Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
  1175. - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
  1176. times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
  1177. - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
  1178. convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
  1179. to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
  1180. implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
  1181. other than the default convention for the host platform.
  1182. - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
  1183. expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
  1184. which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
  1185. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
  1186. #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,

  1189. - Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
  1190. Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
  1191. - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
  1192. - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
  1193. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863,
  1194. #618199, #653180, #673791.
  1195. - Enhanced the regression test suite.
  1196. - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.
  1197. Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
  1198. - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
  1199. - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
  1200. - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
  1201. - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
  1202. (may not retain).
  1203. - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
  1204. - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
  1205. events that were already handled by another handler.
  1206. Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
  1207. - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
  1208. linking into a DLL to be difficult.
  1209. - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
  1210. - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
  1211. no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
  1212. - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
  1213. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,
  1214. #483514, #580503, #581069, #584041, #584183, #584832, #585537,
  1215. #596555, #596678, #598352, #598944, #599715, #600479, #600971.
  1216. Release 1.95.4 Fri Jul 12 2002
  1217. - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry. See
  1218. vms/README.vms for more information.
  1219. - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW,
  1220. contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
  1221. - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
  1222. by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
  1223. - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184,
  1224. #564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196.
  1225. - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
  1226. - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
  1227. added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
  1228. see SF bug report #569461 and SF patch #578161
  1229. - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
  1230. see SF bug report #570263 and SF patch #578161
  1231. Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
  1232. - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
  1233. version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
  1234. - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
  1235. libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.
  1236. - Added the XML_ParserReset() API function.
  1237. - Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names.
  1238. - Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!).
  1239. - Allow xmlwf to read from standard input.
  1240. - Install a man page for xmlwf on Unix systems.

  1277. separator character is used in namespace processing.
  1278. - Merged in features from perl-expat
  1279. o XML_SetElementDeclHandler

  1283. o StartDoctypeDeclHandler takes 3 additional parameters:
  1284. sysid, pubid, has_internal_subset
  1285. o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler)
  1286. now have corresponding individual handler setters
  1287. o XML_GetInputContext for getting the input context of
  1288. the current parse position.
  1289. - Added reference material
  1290. - Packaged into a distribution that builds a sharable library
