Subject: expat 2.1.0beta fixes 5 Denial of Service attacks, CVE's/details
inside
So expat is releasing an update (2.0.1 -> 2.1.0) which is the first one
in a while (which is a testament to the stability and reliability of
expat). If you want to help Karl Waclawek (karl@...lawek.net), the
author of expat out (and by extension pretty much everyone using Open
Source that parses xml using expat which is a lot of stuff), please test
the 2.1.0beta and send him feedback (works, doesn't work, etc.). Two of
the issues were already assigned CVE's back in 2009, the rest got 2012
because that where we are now.
