Hello everyone!


(A *more detailed* blog-post version of this e-mail is available online
at https://blog.hartwork.org/posts/expat-2-6-2-released/ .)

Expat 2.6.2 [1] has been released earlier today. This release fixes security issue CVE-2024-28757 that can be used to cause denial of service. There is also a bugfix to reject direct parameter entity recursion and also to avoid the related undefined behavior. For more details, please check out the change log [2].

If you maintain Expat packaging or a bundled copy of Expat or a pinned
version of Expat somewhere, please update to 2.6.2. Thank you!

Best



Sebastian Pipping
