Description:
* SECURITY UPDATE: quadratic runtime in the default-attribute lookup of
storeAtts(), and an out-of-bounds read in the same lookup for parsers
created by XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate()
- debian/patches/CVE-2026-66046.patch: in lib/xmlparse.c, replace the
linear scan over ELEMENT_TYPE.defaultAtts in storeAtts() with a lookup
in the already-present defaultAttForName hash table, and make dtdCopy()
create NAME_AND_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTE-sized entries so storeAtts() no
longer reads member .attIndex past the end of an entry.
- CVE-2026-66046
* SECURITY UPDATE: a UTF-16 high surrogate not followed by a low surrogate
was accepted, letting the high surrogate swallow the following code unit
and hide it from the tokenizer
- debian/patches/CVE-2026-93990.patch: in lib/xmltok.c, add
LITTLE2_IS_INVALID_CHAR() / BIG2_IS_INVALID_CHAR() and wire them into
IS_INVALID_CHAR() for the little2_/big2_ tokenizers, so
INVALID_LEAD_CASE() in lib/xmltok_impl.c rejects a 4-byte UTF-16
character whose second code unit is not U+DC00..U+DFFF; drop the now
unreachable IS_INVALID_CHAR() no-op fallback in lib/xmltok_impl.c.
- CVE-2026-93990
