Fedora 40: FEDORA-2024-129d8ca6fc High: TagSoup Type Confusion Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey March 7, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Critical patch released for Fedora's TagSoup in response to Type Confusion vulnerabilities found in V8, implementing essential modifications.
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

TagSoup is a SAX-compliant parser written in Java that, instead of

parsing well-formed or valid XML, parses HTML as it is found in the wild: nasty

and brutish, though quite often far from short. TagSoup is designed for people

who have to process this stuff using some semblance of a rational application

design. By providing a SAX interface, it allows standard XML tools to be

applied to even the worst HTML.

Update Information:

Change for system JDK from 17 to 21. upstream security release 122.0.6261.94 High CVE-2024-1938: Type Confusion in V8 High CVE-2024-1939: Type Confusion in V8 fixed bug with requires Automatic update for lucene-9.9.2-1.fc40. bump java source/target to 1.8, fixes 2266639
