Release 2.5.0 Tue October 25 2022

Security fixes:

  • CVE-2022-43680 -- Fix heap use-after-free after overeager destruction of a shared DTD in function XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate in out-of-memory situations. Expected impact is denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution.

Bug fixes:

  • Fix curruption from undefined entities
  • Fix case when parsing was suspended while processing nested entities
  • Stop leaking opening tag bindings after a closing tag mismatch error where a parser is reset through XML_ParserReset and then reused to parse
  • CMake: Fix generation of pkg-config file
  • MinGW|CMake: Fix static library name

Other changes:

  • Protect header expat_config.h from multiple inclusion
  • examples: Make use of XML_GetBuffer and be more consistent across examples
  • Address compiler warnings
  • Version info bumped from 9:9:8 to 9:10:8; see https://verbump.de/ for what these numbers do
