Public bug reported: Please update testdisk package to new upstream 7.x release (7.1 now is the latest, it seems).
In testdisk 7.0 developers added GUI tool - QPhotoRec and because of this Testdisk package must be split at least in 3 binary packages: PhotoRec, QPhotoRec and Testdisk QPhotoRec is a Graphical User Interface (Qt based GUI) version of PhotoRec. More user friendly, it recognizes the same file formats. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/262943 and http://cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_7.0_Release#PhotoRec_.26_QPhotoRec for more info I'm pasting TestDisk 7.0 Release notes: Various fix including security fix, thanks to Coverity scan (Static Analysis of source code) afl-fuzz (security-oriented fuzzer). Denis Andzakovic from Security Assessment for reporting an exploitable Stack Buffer Overflow TestDisk Improvements exFAT: better support ext4: handle 64 bit blocks or 64 KiB blocksize. Fix detection and file listing Bug fixes Avoid erroneous error when writing 512 bytes on hard disk using 4k sector FAT, NTFS: avoid NULL pointer dereference if localtime() returns NULL. Thanks to Graham Sutherland for reporting this bug. PhotoRec & QPhotoRec QPhotoRec is a Graphical User Interface (Qt based GUI) version of PhotoRec. More user friendly, it recognizes the same file formats. PhotoRec remains recommended for advanced users, it can stop a recovery and resume it later, it recovers more fragmented files when brute-force technology is enabled and expert mode is available. Improvements Reduced false positives for more than 80 file formats. .gif: fix filesize detection .flv: add Flash filesize detection .mpg: detect filesize for MPEG .ra: detect filesize for RealAudio3 Improved algorithm to deal with data fragmentation resulting in a general speed increased Speedup brute-force mode. Brute-force mode can recover more fragmented files, but it's still slow and not 100% reliable. You can enable it in PhotoRec Options menu. New file formats recovered by PhotoRec: .3dm: Rhino / openNURBS .ari: ARRI Raw Video .camrec: Camtasia Studio .dad: Micae DVR .dcm: Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) .fp12: File Maker Pro 12 .kra: Krita .mlv: Magic Lantern Video .notebook: SMART notebook .ora: Mypaint .red: RED2 video format .rlv: Revelation password .vbm: Veeam Backup Metadata .woff: Web Open Font Format ** Affects: testdisk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: testdisk (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #787455 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=787455 ** Also affects: testdisk (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=787455 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1523045 Title: Please update testdisk package to new upstream 7.x release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/testdisk/+bug/1523045/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
