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. Signed-off-by: Rafal Wojtczuk <rafal_wojtczuk@mcafee.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> |

README
This is the new version (1.40.2) of the second extended file system management programs. From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix bugs and to make the utilities more robust. You can always find information about the latest version at the the e2fsprogs web page, which is: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net The INSTALL file has instructions on building and installing e2fsprogs. Provisions for building Red Hat RPMs and Debian dpkg files are supplied as well. In case of bugs in these programs, please contact Ted Ts'o at tytso@thunk.org or tytso@alum.mit.edu. See the e2fsck man page for suggestions of what sort of information to include when submitting bug reports for these programs.
