* Fri Mar 14 2025 pgajdos@suse.com
- version update to 2.7.0 (CVE-2024-8176 [bsc#1239618])
* Security fixes:
[#893] #973 CVE-2024-8176 -- Fix crash from chaining a large number
of entities caused by stack overflow by resolving use of
recursion, for all three uses of entities:
- general entities in character data ("<e>&g1;</e>")
- general entities in attribute values ("<e k1='&g1;'/>")
- parameter entities ("%p1;")
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.

- Update to 2.6.3:
* Security fixes:
- CVE-2024-45490, bsc#1229930 -- 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, bsc#1229931 -- 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, bsc#1229932 -- 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.
