- Version update to 2.2.4 Sat Auguest 19 2017
* Bug fixes:
#115 Fix copying of partial characters for UTF-8 input
* Other changes:
#109 Fix "make check" for non-x86 architectures that default
to unsigned type char (-128..127 rather than 0..255)
#109 coverage.sh: Cover -funsigned-char
Autotools: Introduce --without-xmlwf argument
#65 Autotools: Replace handwritten Makefile with GNU Automake
#43 CMake: Auto-detect high quality entropy extractors, add new
option USE_libbsd=ON to use arc4random_buf of libbsd
#74 CMake: Add -fno-strict-aliasing only where supported
#114 CMake: Always honor manually set BUILD_* options
#114 CMake: Compile man page if docbook2x-man is available, only
#117 Include file tests/xmltest.log.expected in source tarball
(required for "make run-xmltest")
#111 Fix some typos in documentation
Version info bumped from 7:5:6 to 7:6:6
- Release 2.2.3 Wed August 2 2017
* Bug fixes:
#85 Fix a dangling pointer issue related to realloc
* Other changes:
#91 Linux: Allow getrandom to fail if nonblocking pool has not
yet been initialized and read /dev/urandom then, instead.
This is in line with what recent Python does.
#86 Check that a UTF-16 encoding in an XML declaration has the
right endianness
#4#5#7 Recover correctly when some reallocations fail
Repair "./configure && make" for systems without any
provider of high quality entropy

- Security fixes:
CVE-2017-9233 / bsc#1047236 -- External entity infinite loop DoS
Details: https://libexpat.github.io/doc/cve-2017-9233/
Commit c4bf96bb51dd2a1b0e185374362ee136fe2c9d7f
- [MOX-002] CVE-2016-9063 / bsc#1047240 -- Detect integer overflow;
(Fixed version of existing downstream patches!)
- (SF.net) #539 Fix regression from fix to CVE-2016-0718 cutting off
longer tag names;
#25 More integer overflow detection (function poolGrow);
- [MOX-002] Detect overflow from len=INT_MAX call to XML_Parse;
- [MOX-005] #30 Use high quality entropy for hash initialization:
* arc4random_buf on BSD, systems with libbsd
(when configured with --with-libbsd), CloudABI
* RtlGenRandom on Windows XP / Server 2003 and later
* getrandom on Linux 3.17+
In a way, that's still part of CVE-2016-5300.

- [MOX-005] For the low quality entropy extraction fallback code,
the parser instance address can no longer leak,
- [MOX-003] Prevent use of uninitialised variable; commit
- [MOX-004] a4dc944f37b664a3ca7199c624a98ee37babdb4b
Add missing parameter validation to public API functions
and dedicated error code XML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT:
- [MOX-006] * NULL checks; commits
* Negative length (XML_Parse); commit
- [MOX-002] 70db8d2538a10f4c022655d6895e4c3e78692e7f
- [MOX-001] #35 Change hash algorithm to William Ahern's version of SipHash
to go further with fixing CVE-2012-0876.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:libraries:c_c++/expat?expand=0&rev=57
* Fixes CVE-2015-1283 — Multiple integer overflows in the
XML_GetBuffer function
* Fix potential null pointer dereference
* Symbol XML_SetHashSalt was not exported
* Output of xmlwf -h was incomplete
* Document behavior of calling XML_SetHashSalt with salt 0
* Minor improvements to man page xmlwf(1)
- Simplify expat-visibility.patch, refresh expat-alloc-size.patch
- Drop config-guess-sub-update.patch, fixed upstream.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:libraries:c_c++/expat?expand=0&rev=43
- Improved ability to build without the configure-generated
expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
because I am not exactly sure about implication of this, rather use
-DXML_HAVE_VISIBILITY in CFLAG_VISIBILITY in expat-visibility.patch
