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.
