Release 2.4.7 Fri March 4 2022 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 #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 #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 #573 Update documentation on use of XML_POOR_ENTOPY on Solaris #569 #571 tests: Resolve use of macros NAN and INFINITY for GNU G++ 4.8.2 on Solaris. #578 #580 Version info bumped from 9:6:8 to 9:7:8; see https://verbump.de/ for what these numbers do Special thanks to: Jeffrey Walton Johnny Jazeix Thijs Schreijer Release 2.4.6 Sun February 20 2022 Bug fixes: #566 Fix a regression introduced by the fix for CVE-2022-25313 in release 2.4.5 that affects applications that (1) call function XML_SetElementDeclHandler and (2) are parsing XML that contains nested element declarations (e.g. "").

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.

This is part of the fix for bug #3496608 to randomize hash parameters. When compiled with XML_ATTR_INFO defined, adds new API member 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.

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.

See vms/README.vms for more information. - Added Mac OS (classic) support, with a makefile for MPW, contributed by Thomas Wegner and Daryle Walker. - Added Borland C++ Builder 5 / BCC 5.5 support, contributed by Patrick McConnell (SF patch #538032). - Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues #441449, #563184, #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!). - Allow xmlwf to read from standard input. - Install a man page for xmlwf on Unix systems. - Fixed many bugs; see SF bug reports #231864, #461380, #464837, #466885, #469226, #477667, #484419, #487840, #494749, #496505, #547350. Other bugs which we can't test as easily may also have been fixed, especially in the area of build support. Release 1.95.2 Fri Jul 27 2001 - 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 Thanks to robin@unrated.net for reporting and providing an account to test on. - The reference had the wrong label for XML_SetStartNamespaceDecl. 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 o Many paired handler setters (like XML_SetElementHandler) 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
