Fedora 39: FEDORA-2024-379025a1c2 Urgent: Expat XML Enhancement

fedora
Calendar Grey February 17, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The release of Fedora 39 brings with it expat 2.6.0, which boosts XML processing efficiency and fortifies security measures.
Rebase to version 2.6.0

Summary

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.
