- Version update to 2.2.5 Tue October 31 2017
* Bug fixes:
- If the parser runs out of memory, make sure its internal
state reflects the memory it actually has, not the memory
it wanted to have.

a SYSTEM or PUBLIC doctype if an entity declaration handler
was registered.

XML_StopParser was called from an element handler
- Function XML_ErrorString was returning NULL rather than
a message for code XML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
introduced with release 2.2.1

CVE-2017-9233 / bsc#1047236 -- External entity infinite loop DoS
Details: https://libexpat.github.io/doc/cve-2017-9233/
Commit c4bf96bb51dd2a1b0e185374362ee136fe2c9d7f
- [MOX-002] CVE-2016-9063 / bsc#1047240 -- Detect integer overflow;
(Fixed version of existing downstream patches!)
- (SF.net) #539 Fix regression from fix to CVE-2016-0718 cutting off
longer tag names;
#25 More integer overflow detection (function poolGrow);
- [MOX-002] Detect overflow from len=INT_MAX call to XML_Parse;
- [MOX-005] #30 Use high quality entropy for hash initialization:
* arc4random_buf on BSD, systems with libbsd
(when configured with --with-libbsd), CloudABI
* RtlGenRandom on Windows XP / Server 2003 and later
* getrandom on Linux 3.17+
In a way, that's still part of CVE-2016-5300.

#32 Fix sharing of hash salt across parsers;
relevant where XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate is called
prior to XML_Parse, in particular (e.g. FBReader)
#28 xmlwf: Auto-disable use of memory-mapping (and parsing
as a single chunk) for files larger than ~1 GB (2^30 bytes)
rather than failing with error "out of memory"
#3 Fix double free after malloc failure in DTD code; commit
7ae9c3d3af433cd4defe95234eae7dc8ed15637f

[bnc#980391], [bnc#983985], [CVE-2016-4472]
- add expat-2.1.1-parser_crashes_on_malformed_input.patch to fix
Expat XML parser that mishandles certain kinds of malformed input
documents [bnc#979441], [CVE-2016-0718]
- use spec-cleaner to clean specfile
- After simplification of expat-visibility.patch, it became
uneffective as no symbols are getting hidden. add
-fvisibility=hidden to CFLAGS again.

expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications
which embed Expat rather than linking in the library.
because I am not exactly sure about implication of this, rather use
-DXML_HAVE_VISIBILITY in CFLAG_VISIBILITY in expat-visibility.patch
- Executing autoreconf requires autoconf BuildRequire
- really hide private Xml* symbols [bnc#798644]
* modified visibility.patch
