E2fsprogs 1.40.3 (December 5, 2007)
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted filesystem
|
||||
can be corrupted in such a way that a program using libext2fs will
|
||||
allocate a buffer which is far too small. This can lead to either a
|
||||
crash or potentially a heap-based buffer overflow crash. No known
|
||||
exploits exist, but main concern is where an untrusted user who
|
||||
possesses privileged access in a guest Xen environment could corrupt a
|
||||
filesystem which is then accessed by the pygrub program, running as
|
||||
root in the dom0 host environment, thus allowing the untrusted user to
|
||||
gain privileged access in the host OS. Thanks to the McAfee AVERT
|
||||
Research group for reporting this issue. (Addresses CVE-2007-5497.)
|
||||
|
||||
Fix hueristics in blkid which could cause a disk without partitions to
|
||||
be incorrectly skipped when a loopback device is present. (Addresses
|
||||
Red Hat Bugzilla #400321.)
|
||||
|
||||
Fix e2image so that in raw mode it does not create an image file which
|
||||
is one byte too large.
|
||||
|
||||
Change mke2fs's usage message so it recommends the preferred -E option
|
||||
instead of the deprecated -R option.
|
||||
|
||||
Enhance the blkid library so it will recognize squashfs filesystems.
|
||||
(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #305151.)
|
||||
|
||||
Enhance e2fsck so it will force the backup superblocks to be backed up
|
||||
if the filesystem is consistent and key constants have been changed
|
||||
(i.e., by an on-line resize) or by e2fsck in the course of its
|
||||
operations.
|
||||
|
||||
Enhance blkid's detection of FAT filesystems; so that USB disks with
|
||||
only a single bootable partition will not get missed.
|
||||
|
||||
E2fsck will no longer mark a filesystem as invalid if it has time
|
||||
errors (i.e., if superblock mount time or last write time is in the
|
||||
future) and the user refuses to fix the problem.
|
||||
|
||||
The Ubuntu init scripts don't properly set the system time correctly
|
||||
from hardware clock if the hardware clock is configured to tick local
|
||||
time instead of GMT time. Work around this as best as we can by
|
||||
providing an option, buggy_init_scripts, in /etc/e2fsck.conf which can
|
||||
be set on Ubuntu systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #441093, and Ubuntu
|
||||
Bug #131201.)
|
||||
|
||||
Fix fsck to ignore /etc/fstab entries for bind mounts. (Addresses Red
|
||||
Hat Bugzilla #151533.)
|
||||
|
||||
Fix e2fsck so that if the superblock is corrupt, but still looks
|
||||
vaguely like an ext2/3/4 superblock, that it automatically tries to
|
||||
fall back to the backup superblock, instead of failing with a hard
|
||||
error.
|
||||
|
||||
Make the e2fsprogs program more robust so that they will not crash
|
||||
when opening a corrupt filesystem where s_inode_size is zero.
|
||||
|
||||
Change e2fsck so it uses sscanf() instead of atoi() so it non-numeric
|
||||
arguments are detected as such and the parse error is reported to the
|
||||
user. (Addresses Debian Bug #435381.)
|
||||
|
||||
Change e2fsck so it will not complain if a file has blocks reallocated
|
||||
up to the next multiple of a system's page size.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix bug in ext2fs_check_desc() which will cause e2fsck to complain
|
||||
about (valid) filesystems where the inode table extends to the last
|
||||
block of the block group. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #214765.)
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a bug in ext2fs_initialize() which causes mke2fs to fail while
|
||||
allocating inode tables for some relatively rare odd disk sizes.
|
||||
(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #241767.)
|
||||
|
||||
Add Catalan translation and update Dutch and Swedish translations
|
||||
from the Translation Project.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix big-endian byte-swapping bug in ext2fs_swap_inode_full(). We
|
||||
still had an issue when trying to figure out whether we need to
|
||||
byte-swap fast symlinks that contained extended attributes.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
||||
(Addresses SourceForge Bug #1821333.)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Programmer's Notes:
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Fix mke2fs tests to avoid needing any significant ^M (CR) characters
|
||||
|
||||
Add "make check" to the RPM spec file
|
||||
|
||||
Fix "make install" and 'make unstall" in misc/Makefile.in so that it
|
||||
works correctly when the prefix is not the root directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix the resize2fs tests, r_move_itable and r_resize_inode, so they
|
||||
clena up after themselves by deleting the test.img temporary file
|
||||
after completing the test.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed a corner case bug ext2fs_unlink() when trying to delete the
|
||||
first directory entry in a directory block and the last directory
|
||||
entry in the previous directory block is not in use. Fortunately
|
||||
ext2fs_unlink() is only used by debugfs and e2fsck, and in e2fsck in
|
||||
places where it is extremely unlikely to run into this corner case.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix missing dependency which would cuase parallel builds to fail.
|
||||
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1842331.)
|
||||
|
||||
Fix a build error on newer gcc caused by lib/ext2fs/ismounted.c
|
||||
calling open(O_CREATE) with a missing mode parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix the test_ss.c in lib/ss so it can be used as an example
|
||||
application program for the library as well as a regression test
|
||||
suite.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate() so that error codes and abort codes
|
||||
are properly passed back up through the call stack.
