Expat 2.6.0 released
Hello everyone!


(A *longer* blog-post version of this e-mail is available online at
https://blog.hartwork.org/posts/expat-2-6-0-released/ .)

Expat 2.6.0 [1] has been released earlier today. Most importantly, this
release fixes two security issues — CVE-2023-52425 and CVE-2023-52426 —
that can be used to cause denial of service. There are also non-
security bugfixes, many improvements to the two official build systems —
GNU Autotools and CMake —, enhancements to the documentation and the
xmlwf command line tool, new example code element_declarations.c,
improved fuzzers, hardened CI security, and many improvements more, both
above and below water level. 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 2.6.0. Thank you!

Best



Sebastian Pipping
