fedora
Calendar Grey March 7, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
To enhance jsoup within Fedora and address critical vulnerabilities associated with type confusion in V8 JavaScript engines, follow these steps for an effective upgrade.
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

jsoup is a Java library for working with real-world HTML. It provides a very

convenient API for fetching URLs and extracting and manipulating data, using the

best of HTML5 DOM methods and CSS selectors.

jsoup implements the WHATWG HTML5 specification, and parses HTML to the same DOM

as modern browsers do.

* scrape and parse HTML from a URL, file, or string

* find and extract data, using DOM traversal or CSS selectors

* manipulate the HTML elements, attributes, and text

* clean user-submitted content against a safelist, to prevent XSS attacks

* output tidy HTML

jsoup is designed to deal with all varieties of HTML found in the wild; from

pristine and validating, to invalid tag-soup; jsoup will create a sensible parse

tree.
