-Release 2.2.9 Wed Septemper 25 2019
+Release 2.4.3 Sun January 16 2022
+ Security fixes:
+ #531 #534 CVE-2021-45960 -- Fix issues with left shifts by >=29 places
+ resulting in
+ a) realloc acting as free
+ b) realloc allocating too few bytes
+ c) undefined behavior
+ depending on architecture and precise value
+ for XML documents with >=2^27+1 prefixed attributes
+ on a single XML tag a la
+ "<r xmlns:a='[..]' a:a123='[..]' [..] />"
+ where XML_ParserCreateNS is used to create the parser
+ (which needs argument "-n" when running xmlwf).
+ Impact is denial of service, or more.

+ Impact is denial of service or more.
+ #539 CVE-2022-22822 to CVE-2022-22827 -- Prevent integer overflows
+ near memory allocation at multiple places. Mitre assigned
+ a dedicated CVE for each involved internal C function:
+ - CVE-2022-22822 for function addBinding
+ - CVE-2022-22823 for function build_model
+ - CVE-2022-22824 for function defineAttribute

+
+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.
+ - Two new command line arguments "-a FACTOR" and "-b BYTES"
+ for xmlwf to further tighten billion laughs protection
+ parameters when desired.
+ If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML
+ payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ #332 #470 For (non-default) compilation with -DEXPAT_MIN_SIZE=ON (CMake)
+ or CPPFLAGS=-DXML_MIN_SIZE (GNU Autotools): Fix segfault
+ for UTF-16 payloads containing CDATA sections.
+ #485 #486 Autotools: Fix generated CMake files for non-64bit and
+ non-Linux platforms (e.g. macOS and MinGW in particular)
+ that were introduced with release 2.3.0

+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)

+ when used with "-d DIRECTORY"
+ #356 #359 MinGW: Provide declaration of rand_s for mingwrt <5.3.0
+ #383 #392 Autotools: Use -Werror while configure tests the compiler
+ for supported compile flags to avoid false positives
+ #383 #393 #394 Autotools: Improve handling of user (C|CPP|CXX|LD)FLAGS,
+ 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"
