This addresses 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.

inode.c (ext2fs_open_inode_scan): Initialize the group variables
so that we don't need to call get_next_blockgroup() the first
time around. Saves a bit of time, and prevents us from
needing to assign -1 to current_group (which is an unsigned
value).
icount.c (insert_icount_el): Cast the estimated number of inodes
from a float to an ino_t.

block.c, bmove.c, dirblock.c, fileio.c: Explicitly cast
all assignments from void * to be compatible with C++.
closefs.c (ext2fs_flush): Add a call to io_channel_flush() to
make sure the contents of the disk are flushed to disk.
dblist.c (ext2fs_add_dir_block): Change new to be new_entry to
avoid C++ namespace clash.

dblist.c (ext2fs_get_num_dirs): Make ext2fs_get_num_dirs more paranoid
about validating the directory counts from the block group
information.
all files: Don't include stdlib.h anymore; include it in ext2_fs.h,
since that file requires stdlib.h
ChangeLog, Makefile.in, dirinfo.c:
dirinfo.c (e2fsck_add_dir_info): Use ext2fs_get_num_dirs instead of
e2fsck_get_num_dirs, which has been removed.
Makefile.in (PROGS): Remove @EXTRA_PROGS@, since we don't want to
compile and install flushb.
ChangeLog, configure.in:
Remove @EXTRA_PROGS@, since we aren't using it in 2fsck/Makefile.in anymore
ChangeLog, Makefile.in:
Install debugfs in /sbin, instead of /usr/sbin.
libext2fs.texinfo:
Update version string to be 1.12
Makefile.in:
Fix bug in find script which made the exclusion list, where a '-' was
missing from an -name option.
Added definition of ext2fs_get_mem, ext2fs_free_mem, and
ext2fs_resize_mem in ext2fs.h, and changed all library routines to use
these wrapper functions.
alloc.c (ext2fs_alloc_block): New function which allocates a
block and updates the filesystem accounting records
appropriately.
ext2_err.et.in: Added new error codes: EXT2_NO_MEMORY,
EXT2_INVALID_ARGUMENT, EXT2_BLOCK_ALLOC_FAIL, EXT2_INODE_ALLOC_FAIL,
EXT2_NOT_DIRECTORY
Change various library files to use these functions instead of EINVAL,
ENOENT, etc.
ChangeLog, pass1.c, pass3.c:
pass3.c (get_lost_and_found): Check error return of
EXT2_FILE_NOT_FOUND instead of ENOTDIR
pass1.c (pass1_check_directory): Return EXT2_NO_DIRECTORY instead of
ENOTDIR
expect.icount:
Change expected error string to be "Invalid argument passed to ext2 library"
instead of just "Invalid argument"
dosio.c: New file to do DOS/BIOS disk accesses.
namei.c (open_namei): Make pathlen be of type size_t.

(dir_block_cmp): Use size_t where appropriate.

appropriate.
