Change Description
DTD entity expansion is now limited to 10,000,000 characters. Loading XML files without DTD entity expansion or with limited DTD entity expansion is unaffected. Files with DTD entities that expand to more than 10,000,000 characters fail to load, and now throw an exception.
- Quirked
- Build-time break
Recommended Action
If the limit of DTD entity expansion is too low 10,000,000, the value can be
overridden with the
xref:System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings.MaxCharactersFromEntities
property. An xref:System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings?displayProperty=name with the
proper xref:System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings.MaxCharactersFromEntities?displayProperty=name
value can be passed to XmlReader.Create
that takes
xref:System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings?displayProperty=name
(ie. xref:System.Xml.XmlReader.Create(System.String,System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings))
