By conservative default, amplification up to a factor of 100.0 is tolerated and rejection only starts after 8 MiB of output bytes (=<direct> + <indirect>) have been processed. The fix adds the following to the API: - A new error code XML_ERROR_AMPLIFICATION_LIMIT_BREACH to signals this specific condition. - Two new API functions .. - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionMaximumAmplification and - XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionActivationThreshold .. to further tighten billion laughs protection parameters when desired. Please see file "doc/reference.html" for details. If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML payload, please file a bug report with libexpat. - Two new XML_FEATURE_* constants .. - that can be queried using the XML_GetFeatureList function, and - that are shown in "xmlwf -v" output. - Two new environment variable switches .. - EXPAT_ACCOUNTING_DEBUG=(0|1|2|3) and - EXPAT_ENTITY_DEBUG=(0|1) .. for runtime debugging of accounting and entity processing. Specific behavior of these values may change in the future. - Two new command line arguments "-a FACTOR" and "-b BYTES" for xmlwf to further tighten billion laughs protection parameters when desired. If you ever need to increase the defaults for non-attack XML payload, please file a bug report with libexpat.
