Changelog for squashfs-4.6.1-3.7.x86_64.rpm :

* Mon Jul 03 2023 duweAATTsuse.com- For reference: previous updates fixed
* CVE-2021-40153 (bsc#1189936)
* CVE-2015-4645, CVE-2015-4646 (bsc#935380)
* Sat Apr 15 2023 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- update to 4.6.1:
* Race condition which can cause corruption of the \"fragment table\" fixed. This is a regression introduced in August 2022, and it has been seen when tailend packing is used (-tailends option).
* Fix build failure when the tools are being built without extended attribute (XATTRs) support.
* Fix XATTR error message when an unrecognised prefix is found
* Fix incorrect free of pointer when an unrecognised XATTR prefix is found.
* Major improvements in extended attribute handling, pseudo file handling, and miscellaneous new options and improvements
* Extended attribute handling improved in Mksquashfs and Sqfstar
* New Pseudo file xattr definition to add extended attributes to files.
* New xattrs-add Action to add extended attributes to files
* Extended attribute handling improved in Unsquashfs
* Other major improvements
* Unsquashfs can now output Pseudo files to standard out.
* Mksquashfs can now input Pseudo files from standard in.
* Squashfs filesystems can now be converted (different block size compression etc) without unpacking to an intermediate filesystem or mounting, by piping the output of Unsquashfs to Mksquashfs.
* Pseudo files are now supported by Sqfstar.
* \"Non-anchored\" excludes are now supported by Unsquashfs.
* Fri Oct 14 2022 duweAATTsuse.com- Do not repeat openSUSE / SLE version tests- Actually format and package the man pages
* Sun May 08 2022 crrodriguezAATTopensuse.org- set LZMA_XZ_SUPPORT=1 so you can (un)squash -comp lzma images
* Sun Mar 20 2022 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- update to 4.5.1 (bsc#1190531, CVE-2021-41072):
* This release adds Manpages for Mksquashfs(1), Unsquashfs(1), Sqfstar(1) and Sqfscat(1).
* The -help text output from the utilities has been improved and extended as well (but the Manpages are now more comprehensive).
* CVE-2021-41072 which is a writing outside of destination exploit, has been fixed.
* The number of hard-links in the filesystem is now also displayed by Mksquashfs in the output summary.
* The number of hard-links written by Unsquashfs is now also displayed in the output summary.
* Unsquashfs will now write to a pre-existing destination directory, rather than aborting.
* Unsquashfs now allows \".\" to used as the destination, to extract to the current directory.
* The Unsquashfs progress bar now tracks empty files and hardlinks, in addition to data blocks.
* -no-hardlinks option has been implemented for Sqfstar.
* More sanity checking for \"corrupted\" filesystems, including checks for multiply linked directories and directory loops.
* Options that may cause filesystems to be unmountable have been moved into a new \"experts\" category in the Mksquashfs help text (and Manpage).
* Maximum cpiostyle filename limited to PATH_MAX. This prevents attempts to overflow the stack, or cause system calls to fail with a too long pathname.
* Don\'t always use \"max open file limit\" when calculating length of queues, as a very large file limit can cause Unsquashfs to abort. Instead use the smaller of max open file limit and cache size.
* Fix Mksquashfs silently ignoring Pseudo file definitions when appending.
* Don\'t abort if no XATTR support has been built in, and there\'s XATTRs in the filesystem. This is a regression introduced in 2019 in Version 4.4.
* Fix duplicate check when the last file block is sparse.
* Sat Dec 11 2021 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- update to 4.5:
* Mksquashfs now supports \"Actions\".
* New sqfstar command which will create a Squashfs image from a tar archive.
* Tar style handling of source pathnames in Mksquashfs.
* Cpio style handling of source pathnames in Mksquashfs.
* New option to throttle the amount of CPU and I/O.
* Mksquashfs now allows no source directory to be specified.
* New Pseudo file \"R\" definition which allows a Regular file o be created with data stored within the Pseudo file.
* Symbolic links are now followed in extract files
* Unsquashfs now supports \"exclude\" files.
* Max depth traversal option added.
* Unsquashfs can now output a \"Pseudo file\" representing the input Squashfs filesystem.
* New -one-file-system option in Mksquashfs.
* New -no-hardlinks option in Mksquashfs.
* Exit code in Unsquashfs changed to distinguish between non-fatal errors (exit 2), and fatal errors (exit 1).
* Xattr id count added in Unsquashfs \"-stat\" output.
* Unsquashfs \"write outside directory\" exploit fixed.
* Error handling in Unsquashfs writer thread fixed.
* Fix failure to truncate destination if appending aborted.
* Prevent Mksquashfs reading the destination file.

* Sat May 26 2012 jengelhAATTinai.de- Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile- Parallel build with %_smp_mflags
* Sun Jan 22 2012 dmuellerAATTsuse.de- enable support for xz and lzo (kernel has support already)
* Thu Nov 03 2011 dvaleevAATTsuse.com- The ppc64 kernel uses a page size of 64kB but mksquashfs only pads to a 4kB boundary. When we loopback mount a squashfs file that isn\'t 64kB aligned and access the last sector of the associated loopback device we see a stream of errors. Disk partitioning tools seem to like accessing the last 512 bytes of partitions. This should fix warnings seen during starting installation on ppc64 and IA64

Also don\'t over-write passed in CFLAGS definition.
