ZayNewsদ্রুত। স্পষ্ট। সংক্ষিপ্ত।
The City of Munich is funding maintenance of libexpat, a widely used XML parser, for up to six months starting August 1, 2026. The project's "security vacation" has ended, and the maintainer will now be paid to work on it as a regular job.
Priorities include fixing five known unfixed vulnerabilities and improving robustness. Recent work focused on a vulnerability uncovered by Mozilla. The maintainer is employed by digitial@M under a standard contract, working remotely.
He invites researchers to submit vulnerability findings, noting the coming months offer the best chance for timely fixes. He also seeks help combining Clang-based MinGW with AddressSanitizer and Wine without launch crashes.
