Description

Security update for expat This update for expat fixes the following issues: - CVE-2025-59375: denial of service (resource consumption) caused by processing malformed small documents (bsc#1249584). - CVE-2026-24515: NULL dereference (CWE-476) due to function XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate() failing to copy the encoding handler data passed to XML_SetUnknownEncodingHandler() from the parent to the subparser (bsc#1257144). - CVE-2026-25210: lack of buffer size check can lead to an integer overflow (bsc#1257496). - CVE-2026-32776: NULL pointer dereference when processing empty external parameter entities inside an entity declaration value (bsc#1259726). - CVE-2026-32777: denial of service due to infinite loop in DTD content parsing (bsc#1259711). - CVE-2026-32778: NULL pointer dereference in `setContext` on retry after an out-of-memory condition (bsc#1259729). - CVE-2026-41080: crafted XML document can cause a denial of service (bsc#1262263). - CVE-2026-45186: denial of service via moderately sized crafted XML input (bsc#1264713). - CVE-2026-50219: lack of handler call depth tracking for calls to XML_* functions from within handlers in cases of a policy violation (bsc#1267631). - CVE-2026-56131: lack of handler call depth tracking for calls to XML_ResumeParser from within handlers in cases of a policy violation (bsc#1268572). - CVE-2026-56132: heap-based buffer overflow in doProlog in xmlparse.c (bsc#1268573). - CVE-2026-56403,CVE-2026-56404,CVE-2026-56405,CVE-2026-56406, CVE-2026-56407,CVE-2026-56408,CVE-2026-56409,CVE-2026-56410, CVE-2026-56411,CVE-2026-56412: multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities (bsc#1275115). - CVE-2026-66046: denial of service vulnerability caused by quadratic algorithmic complexity in the storeAtts() function (bsc#1275732). - CVE-2026-72522: out-of-bounds read and resultant infinite loop due to low surrogates being treated the same as high surrogates during Unicode processing (bsc#1275594). - CVE-2026-76641: out-of-bounds read vulnerability that allows attackers to trigger memory corruption (bsc#1275915). - CVE-2026-76956: denial of service via hash flooding attacks (bsc#1275860). - CVE-2026-76957: lack of handler call depth tracking with custom encoding callbacks. Thus, a use- after-free can occur (bsc#1275859). - CVE-2026-77214: out-of-bounds read due to insufficient checks in `XML_ParseBuffer()` (bsc#1284334). - CVE-2026-93990: fails to validate low surrogates following high surrogates in UTF-16 input (bsc#1282347). - CVE-2026-102633: Denial of Service via integer overflow in expat_realloc (bsc#1283493). Update to 2.8.5 (jsc#PED-16154): * Bug fixes: * Fix an OOM-related memory leak on a failed overflow check * Fix memory alignment for architectures with 128bit pointers * Mark XML_SetHashSalt deprecated * CMake: only add /source-charset:utf-8 when /utf-8 is not present * lib: resolve undefined behavior from overshifting a signed int * lib: support read-only hash table lookup with non-zero-terminated keys * lib: use a C99 bool for ENTITY.open * version info bumped from 13:3:12 to 13:4:12 * fix support for 2+ GiB documents (regression from 2.8.2) * reject empty version in the XML declaration * fix printf format for AIX * CMake|AIX: enable EXPAT_DEV_URANDOM by default * version info bumped from 13:2:12 to 13:3:12 * 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). * xmlwf: Fix a memory leak * WASI: Fix format specifiers for 32bit WASI SDK * Fix alignment of internal allocations for some non-amd64 architectures (e.g. sparc32); fixes up on the fix to CVE-2025-59375 (of Expat 2.7.2) * Fix a class of false positives where input should have been rejected with error XML_ERROR_ASYNC_ENTITY; regression from CVE-2024-8176 (of Expat 2.7.0) * Prove and regression-proof absence of integer overflow from function expat_realloc * Remove 'harmless' cast that truncated a size_t to unsigned * xmlwf: Resolve use of functions XML_GetErrorLineNumber and XML_GetErrorColumnNumber * CVE-2025-59375 -- Disallow use of disproportional amounts of dynamic memory from within an Expat parser * xmlwf: Fix (internal) help generator * xmlwf: Mention supported environment variables in
