2.7.0
Security fixes:
#893 #973 CVE-2024-8176 -- Fix crash from chaining a large number
of entities caused by stack overflow by resolving use of
recursion, for all three uses of entities:
- general entities in character data ("<e>&g1;</e>")
- general entities in attribute values ("<e k1='&g1;'/>")
- parameter entities ("%p1;")
Known impact is (reliable and easy) denial of service:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C
(Base Score: 7.5, Temporal Score: 7.2)
Please note that a layer of compression around XML can
significantly reduce the minimum attack payload size.
