Sep 05, 2006: libarchive 1.3.1 released
Sep 5, 2006: Bump version to 1.3 for new I/O wrappers.
Sep 4, 2006: New memory and FILE read/write wrappers.
Sep 4, 2006: libarchive test harness is now minimally functional;
it's located a few minor bugs in error-handling logic
Fix a denial of service security issue via FreeBSD:
If the end of an archive is reached while attempting to "skip" past a
region of an archive, libarchive will enter an infinite loop wherein it
repeatedly attempts (and fails) to read further data.
(which also installs cpio).
This is for my old PR #22693.
(Note I did this different than I did the gtar-base package
which has an another optional setting for choosing the prefix
for gtar which installs gtar with "g" if GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX is empty.
If that is needed for gcpio also, let me know.)
Patch provided by Martin Wilke via PR 34430.
- Changelog
from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1
- set back Nick Alcock's patch which has been dropped from
2.2.x to 2.3.x (patch name is "Do not moan about every
single file on a non-ext2 filesystem")
- fixed compilation problem when thread-safe code is disabled
- integrated Wiebe Cazemier's patch for dar's man page
- fixed bug in listing: -as option also listed files that
had EA even when theses were not saved in the archive
- file permission of installed sample scripts lacked the
executable bit
- fixed a bug that appeared when a file is removed while at
the time it is saved by dar
- avoid having an unnecessary warning appearing when
restoring a file in a directory that has default EA set
- Cygwin has changed and does not support anymore the path
in the form "c:/some/where", you have to use
"/cygdrive/c/some/where" instead. Documentation has been
updated in consequence.
- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.43 :
- 7-Zip now can use multi-threading mode for compressing to .ZIP archives.
- ZIP format supporting was improved.
- 7-Zip now supports WinZip-compatible AES-256 encryption for .ZIP archives.
- 7-Zip now uses order list (list of extensions) for files sorting for compressing
to .7z archives. It can slightly increase compression ratio in some cases.
- 7-Zip now restores modification time of folders during .7z archives extracting.
- Some bugs were fixed.
- fixed : the user can now see the percentage indicator.
- support added for Tru64 / OSF 5.1 (makefile.tru64)
- small fix in install.sh (7zr install)
- fix "make all" now build 7za and 7zCon.sfx following the README.
* The "-t" archive integrity checking option has been added. This was
requested by several users. cabextract can unpack cabinet files and give
you MD5 checksums of the files inside, without writing the unpacked
files to disk.
* Large files (more than 2 gigabytes) are now correctly searched for
cabinet files.
* A security vulnerability has been fixed. Files compressed with the
Quantum method, using a window size less than 32768 bytes, could cause
cabextract to write beyond the end of the window and cause a
segmentation fault. This fix also permits cabextract to unpack this type
of cabinet file (of which only one has been found in the wild) correctly.
* The unnecessary GNU source mempcpy.c, which caused compilation
failures on several systems, was removed.
* An off-by-one error introduced in 1.1's UTF-8 decoder was fixed. Files
with UTF-8 filenames can now be extracted. The UTF-8 decoder was also
upgraded to support the latest Unicode characer maps.
1. New 'ch' (change archive parameters) command line mode command.
Its purpose is to apply switches like -av, -tl and -cl to archive.
2. New command line -sl<size> and -sm<size> switches to set size
limits of processing files.
3. 7Z added to list of formats stored without compression
when using -ms switch without a parameter.
4. Switch -e[+]<attr> is now supported by most of command line
operations including extracting and deleting files. Previously
it was supported by only archiving command.
