CVE-2025-59375) (pythonGH-139234) Expose the XML Expat 2.7.2 mitigation APIs to disallow use of disproportional amounts of dynamic memory from within an Expat parser (see CVE-2025-59375 for instance). The exposed APIs are available on Expat parsers, that is, parsers created by `xml.parsers.expat.ParserCreate()`, as: - `parser.SetAllocTrackerActivationThreshold(threshold)`, and - `parser.SetAllocTrackerMaximumAmplification(max_factor)`. (cherry picked from commit f04bea4) Co-authored-by: Bénédikt Tran <[email protected]>
…on API (python#139366) Fix some typos left in f04bea4, and simplify some internal functions to ease maintenance of future mitigation APIs. (cherry picked from commit 68a1778)

To have a good synchronization, we'll also delay 3.10 to 3.13 backports for their next release cycle (see #139359 (comment)). |
