Changelog for
squashfs-tools-4.5.1-lp153.2.1.i586.rpm :
* Sat Oct 08 2022 John Vandenberg
- Add manpages to package- Update to v4.5.1
* 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.
* Sun Dec 05 2021 John Vandenberg - Update to v4.5- Tidy spec
* Sun Feb 14 2021 John Vandenberg - Use SPDX Version value- Update to upstream tag 4.4-git.1
* Wed Oct 16 2019 Adrian Schröter - initial package of version 4.4
