5Release 2.6.0 Tue February 6 2024
6        Security fixes:
7      #789 #814  CVE-2023-52425 -- Fix quadratic runtime issues with big tokens
8                   that can cause denial of service, in partial where
9                   dealing with compressed XML input.  Applications
10                   that parsed a document in one go -- a single call to
11                   functions XML_Parse or XML_ParseBuffer -- were not affected.
12                   The smaller the chunks/buffers you use for parsing
13                   previously, the bigger the problem prior to the fix.
14                   Backporters should be careful to no omit parts of
15                   pull request #789 and to include earlier pull request #771,
16                   in order to not break the fix.
17           #777  CVE-2023-52426 -- Fix billion laughs attacks for users
18                   compiling *without* XML_DTD defined (which is not common).
19                   Users with XML_DTD defined have been protected since
20                   Expat >=2.4.0 (and that was CVE-2013-0340 back then).
21
22        Bug fixes:
23            #753  Fix parse-size-dependent "invalid token" error for
24                    external entities that start with a byte order mark
25            #780  Fix NULL pointer dereference in setContext via
26                    XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate for compilation with
27                    XML_DTD undefined

238                    with regard to all valid URI characters (RFC 3986),

293                    processing application on top of Expat can cause
294                    arbitrary damage (e.g. code execution) depending
295                    on how invalid UTF-8 is handled inside the XML
296                    processor; validation was not their job but Expat's.
297                    Exploits with code execution are known to exist.
298            #561  CVE-2022-25236 -- Passing (one or more) namespace separator

452        Security fixes:
453   #34 #466 #484  CVE-2013-0340/CWE-776 -- Protect against billion laughs attacks
454                    (denial-of-service; flavors targeting CPU time or RAM or both,
455                    leveraging general entities or parameter entities or both)
456                    by tracking and limiting the input amplification factor
457                    (<amplification> := (<direct> + <indirect>) / <direct>).
458                    By conservative default, amplification up to a factor of 100.0
459                    is tolerated and rejection only starts after 8 MiB of output bytes
460                    (=<direct> + <indirect>) have been processed.
461                    The fix adds the following to the API:
462                    - A new error code XML_ERROR_AMPLIFICATION_LIMIT_BREACH to
463                      signals this specific condition.
464                    - Two new API functions ..
465                      - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionMaximumAmplification and
466                      - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionActivationThreshold
467                      .. to further tighten billion laughs protection parameters
468                      when desired.  Please see file "doc/reference.html" for details.
469                      If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
470                      payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.
471                    - Two new XML_FEATURE_* constants ..
472                      - that can be queried using the XML_GetFeatureList function, and
473                      - that are shown in "xmlwf -v" output.
474                    - Two new environment variable switches ..
475                      - EXPAT_ACCOUNTING_DEBUG=(0|1|2|3) and
476                      - EXPAT_ENTITY_DEBUG=(0|1)
477                      .. for runtime debugging of accounting and entity processing.
478                      Specific behavior of these values may change in the future.
479                    - Two new command line arguments "-a FACTOR" and "-b BYTES"
480                      for xmlwf to further tighten billion laughs protection
481                      parameters when desired.
482                      If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML

531Release 2.3.0 Thu March 25 2021
532        Bug fixes:
533            #438  When calling XML_ParseBuffer without a prior successful call to
534                    XML_GetBuffer as a user, no longer trigger undefined behavior
535                    (by adding an integer to a NULL pointer) but rather return
536                    XML_STATUS_ERROR and set the error code to (new) code
537                    XML_ERROR_NO_BUFFER. Found by UBSan (UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer)
538                    of Clang 11 (but not Clang 9).
539            #444  xmlwf: Exit status 2 was used for both:
540                    - malformed input files (documented) and
541                    - invalid command-line arguments (undocumented).
542                    The case of invalid command-line arguments now
543                    has its own exit status 4, resolving the ambiguity.

549  #422 #426 #447  Windows: Drop support for Visual Studio <=14.0/2015
550            #434  Windows: CMake: Detect unsupported Visual Studio at
551                    configure time (rather than at compile time)
552       #382 #428  testrunner: Make verbose mode (argument "-v") report

667                    previously, only "-d DIRECTORY" would give you a proper
668                    exit code:

670                      2

672                      0

847                    state reflects the memory it actually has, not the memory
848                    it wanted to have.

1193          #1990430: CVE-2009-3720 - Parser crash with special UTF-8 sequences.
1194        - Bug Fixes:
1195          #1742315: Harmful XML_ParserCreateNS suggestion.
1196          #1785430: Expat build fails on linux-amd64 with gcc version>=4.1 -O3.
1197          #1983953, 2517952, 2517962, 2649838:
1198                Build modifications using autoreconf instead of buildconf.sh.
1199          #2815947, #2884086: OBJEXT and EXEEXT support while building.
1200          #2517938: xmlwf should return non-zero exit status if not well-formed.
1201          #2517946: Wrong statement about XMLDecl in xmlwf.1 and xmlwf.sgml.

1213          Added new API member XML_SetHashSalt() that allows setting an initial
1214                value (salt) for hash calculations. This is part of the fix for
1215                bug #3496608 to randomize hash parameters.
1216          When compiled with XML_ATTR_INFO defined, adds new API member
1217                XML_GetAttributeInfo() that allows retrieving the byte
1218                offsets for attribute names and values (patch #3446384).

1222                present in the same relative location as in the repository.
1223
1224Release 2.0.1 Tue June 5 2007
1225        - Fixed bugs #1515266, #1515600: The character data handler's calling
1226          of XML_StopParser() was not handled properly; if the parser was
1227          stopped and the handler set to NULL, the parser would segfault.
1228        - Fixed bug #1690883: Expat failed on EBCDIC systems as it assumed
1229          some character constants to be ASCII encoded.
1230        - Minor cleanups of the test harness.
1231        - Fixed xmlwf bug #1513566: "out of memory" error on file size zero.
1232        - Fixed outline.c bug #1543233: missing a final XML_ParserFree() call.
1233        - Fixes and improvements for Windows platform:
1234          bugs #1409451, #1476160, #1548182, #1602769, #1717322.
1235        - Build fixes for various platforms:
1236          HP-UX, Tru64, Solaris 9: patch #1437840, bug #1196180.
1237          All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess).
1238                    #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT,
1239                    without relying on GNU-Make specific features.
1240          #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler.
1241        - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly:
1242          bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684.
1243        - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242.
1244
1245Release 2.0.0 Wed Jan 11 2006
1246        - We no longer use the "check" library for C unit testing; we
1247          always use the (partial) internal implementation of the API.
1248        - Report XML_NS setting via XML_GetFeatureList().
1249        - Fixed headers for use from C++.
1250        - XML_GetCurrentLineNumber() and  XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()
1251          now return unsigned integers.
1252        - Added XML_LARGE_SIZE switch to enable 64-bit integers for
1253          byte indexes and line/column numbers.
1254        - Updated to use libtool 1.5.22 (the most recent).
1255        - Added support for AmigaOS.
1256        - Some mostly minor bug fixes. SF issues include: #1006708,
1257          #1021776, #1023646, #1114960, #1156398, #1221160, #1271642.
1258
1259Release 1.95.8 Fri Jul 23 2004
1260        - Major new feature: suspend/resume.  Handlers can now request
1261          that a parse be suspended for later resumption or aborted
1262          altogether.  See "Temporarily Stopping Parsing" in the
1263          documentation for more details.
1264        - Some mostly minor bug fixes, but compilation should no
1265          longer generate warnings on most platforms.  SF issues
1266          include: #827319, #840173, #846309, #888329, #896188, #923913,
1267          #928113, #961698, #985192.
1268
1269Release 1.95.7 Mon Oct 20 2003
1270        - Fixed enum XML_Status issue (reported on SourceForge many
1271          times), so compilers that are properly picky will be happy.
1272        - Introduced an XMLCALL macro to control the calling
1273          convention used by the Expat API; this macro should be used
1274          to annotate prototypes and definitions of callback
1275          implementations in code compiled with a calling convention
1276          other than the default convention for the host platform.
1277        - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
1278          expat_config.h header.  This is useful for applications
1279          which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
1280        - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #458907, #609603,
1281          #676844, #679754, #692878, #692964, #695401, #699323, #699487,
1282          #820946.
1283        - Improved hash table lookups.
1284        - Added more regression tests and improved documentation.
1285
1286Release 1.95.6 Tue Jan 28 2003
1287        - Added XML_FreeContentModel().
1288        - Added XML_MemMalloc(), XML_MemRealloc(), XML_MemFree().
1289        - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #615606, #616863,
1290          #618199, #653180, #673791.
1291        - Enhanced the regression test suite.
1292        - Man page improvements: includes SF issue #632146.
1293
1294Release 1.95.5 Fri Sep 6 2002
1295        - Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
1296        - Added XML_GetFeatureList().
1297        - Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
1298        - Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser
1299          (may not retain).
1300        - Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
1301        - Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD
1302          events that were already handled by another handler.
1303          Initial patch contributed by Darryl Miles.
1304        - Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
1305          linking into a DLL to be difficult.
1306        - Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
1307        - Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be
1308          no longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
1309        - Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
1310        - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #580793, #434664,
1311          #483514, #580503, #581069, #584041, #584183, #584832, #585537,
1312          #596555, #596678, #598352, #598944, #599715, #600479, #600971.
1313

1316          vms/README.vms for more information.
1317        - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW,
1318          contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker.
1319        - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed
1320          by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032).
1321        - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184,
1322          #564342, #566334, #566901, #569461, #570263, #575168, #579196.
1323        - Made skippedEntityHandler conform to SAX2 (see source comment)
1324        - Re-implemented WFC: Entity Declared from XML 1.0 spec and
1325          added a new error "entity declared in parameter entity":
1326          see SF bug report #569461 and SF patch #578161
1327        - Re-implemented section 5.1 from XML 1.0 spec:
1328          see SF bug report #570263 and SF patch #578161
1329
1330Release 1.95.3 Mon Jun 3 2002
1331        - Added a project to the MSVC workspace to create a wchar_t
1332          version of the library; the DLLs are named libexpatw.dll.
1333        - Changed the name of the Windows DLLs from expat.dll to
1334          libexpat.dll; this fixes SF bug #432456.
1335        - Added the XML_ParserReset() API function.
1336        - Fixed XML_SetReturnNSTriplet() to work for element names.
1337        - Made the XML_UNICODE builds usable (thanks, Karl!).

1339        - Install a man page for xmlwf on Unix systems.
1340        - Fixed many bugs; see SF bug reports #231864, #461380, #464837,
1341          #466885, #469226, #477667, #484419, #487840, #494749, #496505,
1342          #547350.  Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also
1343          have been fixed, especially in the area of build support.
1344
1345Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001
1346        - More changes to make MSVC happy with the build; add a single
1347          workspace to support both the library and xmlwf application.
1348        - Added a Windows installer for Windows users; includes
1349          xmlwf.exe.
1350        - Added compile-time constants that can be used to determine the
1351          Expat version
1352        - Removed a lot of GNU-specific dependencies to aide portability
1353          among the various Unix flavors.
1354        - Fix the UTF-8 BOM bug.
1355        - Cleaned up warning messages for several compilers.
1356        - Added the -Wall, -Wstrict-prototypes options for GCC.
1357
1358Release 1.95.1 Sun Oct 22 15:11:36 EDT 2000
1359        - Changes to get expat to build under Microsoft compiler
1360        - Removed all aborts and instead return an UNEXPECTED_STATE error.
1361        - Fixed a bug where a stray '%' in an entity value would cause an
1362          abort.
1363        - Defined XML_SetEndNamespaceDeclHandler. Thanks to Darryl Miles for
1364          finding this oversight.
1365        - Changed default patterns in lib/Makefile.in to fit non-GNU makes
1366          Thanks to robin@unrated.net for reporting and providing an
1367          account to test on.
1368        - The reference had the wrong label for XML_SetStartNamespaceDecl.
