Subject: [PATCH] Address segfault found in CVE-2023-52425
The CVE addresses a possible DoS when unreasonably large tokens
are passed into the XML parser for processing. These were taking
upwards of 8 seconds per file processed with the exception of
aaaaaa_cdata.xml which caused a segmentation fault. The XML
processor was effectively losing the start of the string, setting
it to NULL. This caused a cascade of errors trying to parse both
the next token and in handling errors if a new token was not found.
This handles both those cases but not the underlying reason why
the pointer to inputStart is lost.
Trying to backport the libexpat changes to address the performance
issue would be enormous since the xmlrpc-c custom version of libexpat
is extremely old. Since xmlrpc-c is mostly used as a client passing
in random values is less of an issue.
Include the libexpat upstream benchmark test to validate that the
tests pass, albeit slowly.
To run the benchmarks:
extract the sources
cd xmlrpc-c-1.51.0
make
cd test
make
cd benchmark
for file in *.xml; do ./benchmark $file 4096 1; done
One test will error out but this is expected as part of the fix.
The tests will be extracted as a Source because of their
uncompressed size (~48M)
Fixes: RHEL-24226
