4Subject: [PATCH] Prevent stack exhaustion in build_model
5
6It is possible to trigger stack exhaustion in build_model function if
7depth of nested children in DTD element is large enough. This happens
8because build_node is a recursively called function within build_model.
9
10The code has been adjusted to run iteratively. It uses the already
11allocated heap space as temporary stack (growing from top to bottom).
12
13Output is identical to recursive version. No new fields in data
14structures were added, i.e. it keeps full API and ABI compatibility.
15Instead the numchildren variable is used to temporarily keep the
16index of items (uint vs int).
17
18Documentation and readability improvements kindly added by Sebastian.

221. Compile poc binary which parses XML file line by line

38 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
39 FILE *fp;
40 char *p = NULL;
41 size_t s = 0;
42 ssize_t l;
43 if (argc != 2)
44 errx(1, "usage: poc poc.xml");
45 if ((parser = XML_ParserCreate(NULL)) == NULL)
46 errx(1, "XML_ParserCreate");
47 XML_SetElementDeclHandler(parser, dummy_element_decl_handler);
48 if ((fp = fopen(argv[1], "r")) == NULL)
49 err(1, "fopen");
50 while ((l = getline(&p, &s, fp)) > 0)
51 if (XML_Parse(parser, p, (int)l, XML_FALSE) != XML_STATUS_OK)
52 errx(1, "XML_Parse");
53 XML_ParserFree(parser);
54 free(p);
55 fclose(fp);
56 return 0;
57 }
58EOF
59cc -std=c11 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -lexpat -o poc poc.c
60```
61
622. Create XML file with a lot of nested groups in DTD element
63
64```
65cat > poc.xml.zst.b64 << EOF

156+ * stack is avoided now by resolving recursion.)
157+ *
158+ * The iterative approach works as follows:
159+ *
160+ * - We use space in the target array for building a temporary stack structure
161+ * while that space is still unused.
162+ * The stack grows from the array's end downwards and the "actual data"
163+ * grows from the start upwards, sequentially.
164+ * (Because stack grows downwards, pushing onto the stack is a decrement
165+ * while popping off the stack is an increment.)
166+ *
167+ * - A stack element appears as a regular XML_Content node on the outside,
168+ * but only uses a single field -- numchildren -- to store the source
169+ * tree node array index. These are the breadcrumbs leading the way back
170+ * during pre-order (node first) depth-first traversal.
171+ *
172+ * - The reason we know the stack will never grow into (or overlap with)
173+ * the area with data of value at the start of the array is because
174+ * the overall number of elements to process matches the size of the array,
175+ * and the sum of fully processed nodes and yet-to-be processed nodes
176+ * on the stack, cannot be more than the total number of nodes.
177+ * It is possible for the top of the stack and the about-to-write node
178+ * to meet, but that is safe because we get the source index out
179+ * before doing any writes on that node.
