XML parser library written in C
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 2.6.3,
Package name: expat-2.6.3,
Maintainer: pkgsrc-usersThis is James Clark's expat XML parser library in C. It is a stream oriented

Log message:
expat: updated to 2.6.3
Release 2.6.3 Wed September 4 2024
Security fixes:
CVE-2024-45490 -- Calling function XML_ParseBuffer with
len < 0 without noticing and then calling XML_GetBuffer
will have XML_ParseBuffer fail to recognize the problem
and XML_GetBuffer corrupt memory.
With the fix, XML_ParseBuffer now complains with error
XML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT just like sibling XML_Parse
has been doing since Expat 2.2.1, and now documented.
Impact is denial of service to potentially artitrary code
execution.
CVE-2024-45491 -- Internal function dtdCopy can have an
integer overflow for nDefaultAtts on 32-bit platforms
(where UINT_MAX equals SIZE_MAX).
Impact is denial of service to potentially artitrary code
execution.
CVE-2024-45492 -- Internal function nextScaffoldPart can
have an integer overflow for m_groupSize on 32-bit
platforms (where UINT_MAX equals SIZE_MAX).
Impact is denial of service to potentially artitrary code
execution.
Other changes:
Autotools: Sync CMake templates with CMake 3.28
Autotools: Always provide path to find(1) for portability
Autotools: Ensure that the m4 directory always exists.

Log message:
expat: updated to 2.6.0
Release 2.6.0 Tue February 6 2024
Security fixes:
* * CVE-2023-52425 -- Fix quadratic runtime issues with big tokens
that can cause denial of service, in partial where
dealing with compressed XML input. Applications
that parsed a document in one go -- a single call to
functions XML_Parse or XML_ParseBuffer -- were not affected.
The smaller the chunks/buffers you use for parsing
previously, the bigger the problem prior to the fix.
Backporters should be careful to no omit parts of
pull request * and to include earlier pull request *,
in order to not break the fix.
* CVE-2023-52426 -- Fix billion laughs attacks for users
compiling *without* XML_DTD defined (which is not common).
Users with XML_DTD defined have been protected since
Expat >=2.4.0 (and that was CVE-2013-0340 back then).
Bug fixes:
* Fix parse-size-dependent "invalid token" error for
external entities that start with a byte order mark
* Fix NULL pointer dereference in setContext via
XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate for compilation with
XML_DTD undefined
* * Protect against closing entities out of order
Other changes:
* Improve support for arc4random/arc4random_buf
* * Improve buffer growth in XML_GetBuffer and XML_Parse
* * xmlwf: Support --help and --version
* * xmlwf: Support custom buffer size for XML_GetBuffer and read
* xmlwf: Improve language and URL clickability in help output
* examples: Add new example "element_declarations.c"
* Be stricter about macro XML_CONTEXT_BYTES at build time
* Make inclusion to expat_config.h consistent
* * Autotools: configure.ac: Support --disable-maintainer-mode
* * ..
* * * Autotools: Sync CMake templates with CMake 3.26
* Autotools: Make installation of shipped man page doc/xmlwf.1
independent of docbook2man availability
* Autotools|CMake: Add missing -DXML_STATIC to pkg-config file
section "Cflags.private" in order to fix compilation
against static libexpat using pkg-config on Windows
* * Autotools|CMake: Require a C99 compiler
(a de-facto requirement already since Expat 2.2.2 of 2017)
* Autotools|CMake: Fix PACKAGE_BUGREPORT variable
* * Autotools|CMake: Make test suite require a C++11 compiler
* CMake: Require CMake >=3.5.0
* CMake: Lowercase off_t and size_t to help a bug in Meson
* CMake: Sort xmlwf sources alphabetically
* CMake|Windows: Fix generation of DLL file version info
* CMake: Build tests/benchmark/benchmark.c as well for
a build with -DEXPAT_BUILD_TESTS=ON
* * docs: Document the importance of isFinal + adjust tests
accordingly
* docs: Improve use of "NULL" and "null"
* docs: Be specific about version of XML (XML 1.0r4)
and version of C (C99); (XML 1.0r5 will need a sponsor.)
* docs: reference.html: Promote function XML_ParseBuffer more
* docs: reference.html: Add HTML anchors to XML_* macros
* docs: reference.html: Upgrade to OK.css 1.2.0
* * docs: Fix typos
* docs|CI: Use HTTPS URLs instead of HTTP at various places
* * ..
* * ..
* * Address compiler warnings
* * Address clang-tidy warnings
* * Version info bumped from 9:10:8 (libexpat*.so.1.8.10)
to 10:0:9 (libexpat*.so.1.9.0); see https://verbump.de/
for what these numbers do
Infrastructure:
* * docs: Document security policy in file SECURITY.md
* docs: Improve parse buffer variables in-code documentation
* * ..
* * ..
* * * Refactor coverage and conformance tests
* * Refactor debug level variables to unsigned long
* Improve handling of empty environment variable value
in function getDebugLevel (without visible user effect)
* * ..
* * ..
* * tests: Improve test coverage with regard to parse chunk size
* * * Fuzzing: Improve fuzzing coverage
* * Fuzzing|CI: Start running OSS-Fuzz fuzzing regression tests
* * CI: Resolve some Travis CI leftovers
* CI: Be robust towards absence of Git tags
* * CI: Set permissions to "contents: read" for security
* CI: Pin all GitHub Actions to specific commits for security

Log message:
*/builtin.mk: Use ${_CROSS_DESTDIR:U} for build-time file checks.
These are questions about the target system, whose files at
build-time are all relative to ${_CROSS_DESTDIR} if it is defined,
i.e., if USE_CROSS_COMPILE is set to yes.
No change to native builds because ${_CROSS_DESTDIR:U} is empty in
them. (Possible minor change by adding :Q to ${H_FOO} in command
lines, but if this makes a difference it likely fixes problems.)
