Release 2.8.1 Sun May 10 2026 Security fixes: #1216 CVE-2026-45186 -- Fix quadratic runtime from attribute name collision checks that allowed denial of service attacks through moderately sized crafted XML input (CWE-407). Please note that a layer of compression around XML can significantly reduce the minimum attack payload size. Other changes: #1209 #1213 Drop more casts related to `void *` that C99 does not need #1213 xmlwf: Streamline use of `mmap` #1214 #1217 Version info bumped from 13:0:12 (libexpat*.so.1.12.0) to 13:1:12 (libexpat*.so.1.12.1); see https://verbump.de/ for what these numbers do Infrastructure: #1210 CI: Cover compilation with Visual Studio 18 2026 on Windows #1215 CI: Cover compilation for ARM64 on Windows #1212 CI: Bump WASI SDK from 32 to 33 Special thanks to: Berkay Eren Ürün Matthew Fernandez Nick Wellnhofer Tania Somanna Release 2.8.0 Fri April 24 2026 Security fixes: #47 #1183 CVE-2026-41080 -- The existing hash flooding protection (based on SipHash) only used 4 to 8 bytes of entropy for a salt, when 16 bytes of salt are supported by the implementation of SipHash used by Expat. Now full 16 bytes of entropy are used to improve protection against hash flooding attacks. Existing API function XML_SetHashSalt is now deprecated because of its limitations, and its use should be considered a vulnerability. Please either use the new API function XML_SetHashSalt16Bytes (with known-high-quality entropy input only!) instead, or leave the derivation of a 16-bytes hash salt from high quality entropy to Expat's internal machinery (by *not* calling either of the two XML_SetHashSalt* functions). Bug fixes: #1188 Avoid propagating /dev/urandom file descriptor to child processes #1193 Fix interpretation of `errno` after randomization calls #1195 Avoid assuming uint8_t is a character type Other changes: #1180 #1199 Add support for `getentropy(3)` as a source of entropy; this helps with protecting against hash flooding attacks, in particular with WASI SDK (where none of the other entropy sources supported by libexpat are available). #1200 Autotools: Add `--without-arc4random` and `--without-arc4random-buf` #1200 Autotools: Make `./configure` output report on available high quality entropy sources #1173 Autotools|macOS: Sync CMake templates with CMake 4.3.0 #1201 Autotools|CMake: Improve checks for `arc4random` and `arc4random_buf` e.g. with modern glibc #1201 CMake: Report on availability of functions `arc4random` and `arc4random_buf` #1201 CMake: Mark entropy related build switches as advanced #1189 .. #1203 #1204 Extract new files from entropy extraction code #1194 Stop duplicating C tests 1:1 as C++ ("runtests_cxx") #1202 Fix a comment typo in expat_external.h #1187 Fix grammar in compile error message #1192 examples: Build warning-free with -Wwrite-strings #1171 tests: Address harmless warning from Coverity #1170 #1176 Sync file headers #1190 #1206 Version info bumped from 12:3:11 (libexpat*.so.1.11.3) to 13:0:12 (libexpat*.so.1.12.0); see https://verbump.de/ for what these numbers do Infrastructure: #1166 #1167 .. #1172 #1175 .. #1178 #1179 .. #1185 #1205 CI: Make Perl XML::Parser integration tests run against both version 2.47 and the latest release 2.58 #1169 CI: Adapt to breaking changes regarding Inno Setup #1173 CI: Adapt to breaking changes regarding CMake #1174 CI: Include public corpus of fuzzer `xml_lpm_fuzzer` with regression testing #1181 #1182 CI: Bump WASI SDK from 30 to 32 Special thanks to: Jérôme Duval Matthew Fernandez Release 2.7.5 Tue March 17 2026 Security fixes: #1158 CVE-2026-32776 -- Fix NULL function pointer dereference for empty external parameter entities; it takes use of both functions XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate and XML_SetParamEntityParsing for an application to be vulnerable. #1161 #1162 CVE-2026-32777 -- Protect from XML_TOK_INSTANCE_START infinite loop in function entityValueProcessor; it takes use of both functions XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate and XML_SetParamEntityParsing for an application to be vulnerable. #1163 CVE-2026-32778 -- Fix NULL dereference in function setContext on retry after an earlier ouf-of-memory condition; it takes use of function XML_ParserCreateNS or XML_ParserCreate_MM for an application to be vulnerable. #1160 Three more unfixed vulnerabilities left Other changes: #1146 #1147 Autotools: Fix condition for symbol versioning check, in particular when compiling with slibtool (not libtool) #1156 Address Cppcheck >=2.20.0 warnings #1153 tests: Make test_buffer_can_grow_to_max work for MinGW on Ubuntu 24.04 #1157 #1159 Version info bumped from 12:2:11 (libexpat*.so.1.11.2) to 12:3:11 (libexpat*.so.1.11.3); see https://verbump.de/ for what these numbers do Infrastructure: #1148 CI: Fix FreeBSD and Solaris CI #1149 CI: Bump to WASI SDK 30 #1153 CI: Adapt to breaking changes with Ubuntu 22.04 #1156 CI: Adapt to breaking changes in Cppcheck Special thanks to: Berkay Eren Ürün Christian Ng Fabio Scaccabarozzi Francesco Bertolaccini Mark Brand Rhodri James and AddressSanitizer Buttercup OSS-Fuzz / ClusterFuzz Trail of Bits Release 2.7.4 Sat January 31 2026 Security fixes: #1131 CVE-2026-24515 -- Function XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate failed to copy the encoding handler data passed to XML_SetUnknownEncodingHandler from the parent to the new subparser. This can cause a NULL dereference (CWE-476) from external entities that declare use of an unknown encoding. The expected impact is denial of service. It takes use of both functions XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate and XML_SetUnknownEncodingHandler for an application to be vulnerable. #1075 CVE-2026-25210 -- Add missing check for integer overflow related to buffer size determination in function doContent Bug fixes: #1073 lib: Fix missing undoing of group size expansion in doProlog failure cases #1107 xmlwf: Fix a memory leak #1104 WASI: Fix format specifiers for 32bit WASI SDK Other changes: #1105 lib: Fix strict aliasing #1106 lib: Leverage feature "flexible array member" of C99 #1051 lib: Swap (size_t)(-1) for C99 equivalent SIZE_MAX #1109 lib|xmlwf: Return NULL instead of 0 for pointers #1068 lib|Windows: Clean up use of macro _MSC_EXTENSIONS with MSVC #1112 lib: Remove unused import #1110 xmlwf: Warn about XXE in --help output (and man page) #1102 #1103 WASI: Stop using getpid #1113 #1130 Autotools: Drop file expat.m4 that provided obsolete Autoconf macro AM_WITH_EXPAT #1123 Autotools: Limit -Wno-pedantic-ms-format to MinGW #1129 #1134 .. #1087 Autotools|macOS: Sync CMake templates with CMake 4.0 #1139 #1140 Autotools|CMake: Introduce off-by-default symbol versioning The related build system flags are: - For Autotools, configure with --enable-symbol-versioning - For CMake, configure with -DEXPAT_SYMBOL_VERSIONING=ON Please double-check for consequences before activating this inside distro packaging.

There are two new API functions to fine-tune this new behavior: - XML_SetAllocTrackerActivationThreshold - XML_SetAllocTrackerMaximumAmplification . If you ever need to increase these defaults for non-attack XML payload, please file a bug report with libexpat. There is also a new environment variable EXPAT_MALLOC_DEBUG=(0|1|2) to control the verbosity of allocations debugging at runtime, disabled by default. Known impact is (reliable and easy) denial of service: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C (Base Score: 7.5, Temporal Score: 7.2) Please note that a layer of compression around XML can significantly reduce the minimum attack payload size. Distributors intending to backport (or cherry-pick) the fix need to copy 99% of the related pull request, not just the "lib: Implement tracking of dynamic memory allocations" commit, to not end up with a state that literally does both too much and too little at the same time. Appending ".diff" to the pull request URL could be of help.

All Unix: #1554618 (refreshed config.sub/config.guess). #1490371, #1613457: support both, DESTDIR and INSTALL_ROOT, without relying on GNU-Make specific features. #1647805: Patched configure.in to work better with Intel compiler. - Fixes to Makefile.in to have make check work correctly: bugs #1408143, #1535603, #1536684. - Added Open Watcom support: patch #1523242. 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. Release 1.95.4 Fri Jul 12 2002 - Added support for VMS, contributed by Craig Berry. 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
