Expat 2.2.1 with security fixes has been released
Expat 2.2.1
has been released. It's a security release with a variety of security fixes,
for instance: An infinite loop denial-of-service fix
(that Rhodri James wrote more about), introduction of
SipHash against sophisticated hash flooding,
use of OS-specific high quality entropy providers like getrandom
, integer
overflow fixes, and more. We also got better code coverage, moved all but the
downloads from SourceForge to GitHub, … but maybe have a look at the
detailed change log
yourself :) So if you control copies of Expat somewhere, please get them
updated. Let me use the occasion to point out that
we are looking for help
with a few
things Expat. There are
tickets with details up here.
If you can
help, please get in touch. Thanks and best
Sebastian
