-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2019-9505c6b555 2019-09-25 01:06:52.996007 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : expat Product : Fedora 30 Version : 2.2.8 Release : 1.fc30 URL : https://libexpat.github.io/ Summary : An XML parser library Description : This is expat, the C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark. Expat is a stream oriented XML parser. This means that you register handlers with the parser prior to starting the parse. These handlers are called when the parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed. A start tag is an example of the kind of structures for which you may register handlers.

This update of `expat` fixes the following security issue: * **CVE-2019-15903** -- Fix heap overflow triggered by `XML_GetCurrentLineNumber` (or `XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber`), and deny internal entities closing the doctype The following bug fixes are also included: * Fix cases where `XML_StopParser` did not have any effect when called from inside of an end element handler * xmlwf: Fix exit code for operation without "`-d DIRECTORY`" previously, only "`-d DIRECTORY`" would give you a proper exit code -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
