Release notes for the e2fsprogs package

E2fsprogs 1.45.5 (January 7, 2020)

+ +

Fixes

+ +

E2fsck will no longer force a full file system check if time-based +forced checks are disabled and the last mount time or last write time in +the superblock are in the future.

+ +

Fix a potential out of bounds write when checking a maliciously +corrupted file system. 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.

+ +
