This is probably not exploitable on 64-bit +platforms, but may be exploitable on 32-bit binaries depending on how +the compiler lays out the stack variables. (Addresses CVE-2019-5188) + +Fixed spurious weekly e-mails when e2scrub_all is run via a cron job +on non-systemd systems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #944033) + +Remove an unnecessary sleep in e2scrub which could add up to an +additional two second delay during the boot up. Also, avoid trying +to reap aborted snapshots if it has been disabled via e2scrub.conf. +(Addresses Debian Bug: #948193) + +If a mischievous system administrator mounts a pseudo-file system such +as tmpfs with a device name that duplicates another mounted file system, +this could potentially confuse resize2fs when it needs to find the mount +point of a mounted file system. (Who would have guessed?) Add some +sanity checking so that we can make libext2fs more robust against such +insanity, at least on Linux. (GNU HURD doesn't support st_rdev.) + +Tune2fs now prohibits enabling or disabling uninit_bg if the file system +is mounted, since this could result in the file system getting +corrupted, and there is an unfortunate AskUbuntu article suggesting this +as a way to modify a file system's UUID on a live file system. (Ext4 +now has a way to do this safely, using the metadata_csum_seed feature, +which was added in the 4.4 Linux kernel.) + +Fix potential crash in e2fsck when rebuilding very large directories on +file systems which have the new large_dir feature enable. + +Fix support of 32-bit uid's and gid's in fuse2fs and in mke2fs -d. + +Fix mke2fs's setting bad blocks to bigalloc file systems. + +Fix a bug where fuse2fs would incorrectly report the i_blocks fields for +bigalloc file systems. + +Resize2fs's minimum size estimates (via resize2fs -M) estimates are now +more accurate when run on mounted file systems. + +Fixed potential memory leak in read_bitmap() in libext2fs. + +Fixed various UBsan failures found when fuzzing file system images. +(Addresses Google Bug: #128130353) + +Updated and clarified various man pages. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. +-------------------------------------------------------------- + +Speed up e2fsck on file systems with a very large number of inodes +caused by repeated calls to gettext(). + +The inode_io io_manager can now support files which are greater than +2GB. + +The ext2_off_t and ext2_off64_t are now signed types so that +ext2fs_file_lseek() and ext2fs_file_llseek() can work correctly. + +Reserve codepoint for the fast_commit feature. + +Fixed various Debian packaging issues. + +Fix portability problems for Illumous and on hurd/i386 (Addresses Debian +Bug: #944649) + +Always compile the ext2fs_swap_* functions even on little-endian +architectures, so that debian/libext2fs.symbols can be consistent across +architectures. + +Synchronized changes from Android's AOSP e2fsprogs tree. + +Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF. + +Update the Chinese and Malay translations from the translation project. |
