-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-2138 2008-03-13 05:52:36 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : e2fsprogs Product : Fedora 8 Version : 1.40.4 Release : 2.fc8 URL : http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Utilities for managing the second and third extended (ext2/ext3) filesystems Description : The e2fsprogs package contains a number of utilities for creating, checking, modifying, and correcting any inconsistencies in second and third extended (ext2/ext3) filesystems. E2fsprogs contains e2fsck (used to repair filesystem inconsistencies after an unclean shutdown), mke2fs (used to initialize a partition to contain an empty ext2 filesystem), debugfs (used to examine the internal structure of a filesystem, to manually repair a corrupted filesystem, or to create test cases for e2fsck), tune2fs (used to modify filesystem parameters), and most of the other core ext2fs filesystem utilities. You should install the e2fsprogs package if you need to manage the performance of an ext2 and/or ext3 filesystem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Jan 31 2008 Eric Sandeen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1.40.4-2 - Handle lvm error conditions in libblkid (#433857) (from 1.40.7) * Thu Jan 31 2008 Eric Sandeen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1.40.4-1 - New upstream version, drop several now-upstream patches. - New uuidd subpackage - Build e2fsck as a dynamically linked binary, and clobber e2fsck.static - Fix uidd manpage default paths. - Ignore some primary/backup superblock flag differences (#428893) - Make (more) file timestamps match those in tarball for multilib tidiness - Fix e2fsprogs-libs summary (shared libs not static) * Tue Jan 1 2008 Eric Sandeen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1.40.2-15 - Drop resize_inode removal patch from tune2fs; ostensibly was for old kernels which could not mount, but seems to be fine. - Drop pottcdate removal patch, and don't rebuild .po files, causes multilib problems and we generally shouldn't rebuild. - Drop multilib patch; wrapper header should take care of this now. - Drop ->open rename, Fedora seems ok with this now. * Tue Dec 11 2007 Eric Sandeen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1.40.2-14 - Fix integer overflows (#414591 / CVE-2007-5497) * Tue Dec 4 2007 Stepan Kasal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1.40.2-13 - The -devel package now requires device-mapper-devel, to match the dependency in blkid.pc (#410791) * Tue Nov 27 2007 Eric Sandeen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1.40.2-11 - Use upstream patch for blkid fat detection, avoids div-by-zero when encountering some BSD partitions (#398281) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #433857 - rpc.mountd segfaults due to uninitialized value in e2fsprogs devname.c [PATCH] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433857 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
