| | Version 2.5.1-2: |
| | |
| | Improved typesetting and ordering of manpage material: patch by Jaari |
| | Aalto. |
| | |
| | Some things to improve git compatibility: removed RCS tags from afio.1 |
| | and afio.c, removed trailing whitespace from files. Based om report |
| | by Jaari Aalto. |
| | |
| | Improved some questionable code in incheckdata(). Removed unused |
| | variable (causing compiler warning) in outflush() and compressfile(). |
| | |
| | Created afio home page on the web. |
| | |
| | Fixed bug in handling buffer size calculations when -s and -c options |
| | settings that create a 2GB memory buffer, by upgrading various |
| | variables to size_t size. Based on bug report and patch by Yuri |
| | D'Elia. Tests have shown that (at least on i386 with 32 bit ints and |
| | size_t) this fix does not handle correctly buffer sizes >2GB, probably |
| | because size_t is 4 byte, not 8, and I still have doubts about 2GB |
| | too. Fixing everything and testing it is just too painful on my |
| | current 32 bit Linux install on a box that has only like 700M real |
| | memory. |
| | |
| | Therefore: added code to prevent memory buffer sizes larger than 1.5 |
| | GB being used by -s and -c and by -M. For -M, probably a limit of |
| | 3.5GB is still OK but I have not tested it so better safe than sorry. |
| | On native 64 bit installs, these limits may be over-cautious |
| | (especially if the compiler uses sizeof(int)==8, which is NOT the case |
| | for Linux amd64), but as I have no way to test this I'd rather get bug |
| | reports and patches from 64 bit platform people who run into this |
| | limit than have their backups silently fail. Closes(?) Debian bug |
| | #578046. |
| | |
| | Added %V and %S subsitution in input/output file name and !script name |
| | generation if -s option used. Based on idea and patch by Gabor Kiss. |
| | Closes Debian bug #310806. |
| | |
| | Changed makefile to use $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) out of |
| | environment variables, these are set in some compile environments. |
| | Based on report and patch by Jari Aalto. |
| | |
| | Version 2.5.2: |
| | |
| | Fixed bug (introduced in 2.5) of afio giving an error message (and |
| | nonzero exit) when including a control file in an archive. Bug |
| | reported by Ian Campbell. Closes Debian bug #686613. |
| | |
| | Added d letter for the -1 option. |
| | |
| | Fixed two compiler errors (as reported by recent gcc) due to |
| | discrepancies between function declarations in afio.h and afio.c. |
| | Problem reported by Jari Aalto. Added some more size_t and ssize_t. |
| | |
| | Fixed formatting bug to restore output behavior of afio -o -0 -vv like |
| | it was in afio 2.5. Based on bug report by Corey Mann. Closes Debian |
| | bug #420654. |
| | |
| | Improved -r option: if a file with 0 length is in the archive, but the |
| | file on the filesystem is now longer, the -r option will now report an |
| | error (except for hard linked files). Based on problem report by |
| | Christian Schneider. Also updated -r description in manpage. Closes |
| | Debian bug #565202. |
| | |
| | Fixed typos in manual file (contol->control). Contributed by |
| | bfontaine on github. |
| | |
| | Added support in compfile.c for musl libc (http://musl-libc.org) which |
| | does not have MAXNAMLEN nor DIRSIZ. Based on patch by doughdemon on |
| | github. |
| | |
| | In savedirstamp and restoredirstamps: fixed a very unlikely memory |
| | leak. Changed to keep the head of a list that is never freed |
| | reachable, to make Valgrind happy. Contributed by Philipp Gesang. |
| | |
| | Tweaked regtest script to make it remove test directories left |
| | after a failed test before re-testing. |
| | |
| | Added -Wno-unused-result flag in Makefile to make compilation shut up |
| | about unused system call results from calls like dup() and nice(). The |
| | fact that the compiler issues these warnings is due to (in my opinion) |
| | a declaration bug in glibc, as not checking there results is fully |
| | legitimate in many situations. |
| | |
| | Removed the feature to optimise path names ('Optimizes pathnames with |
| | respect to the current and parent directories. For example |
| | ./src/sh/../misc/afio.c becomes src/misc/afio.c'). Only optimisation |
| | remaining in nameopt() is that multiple leading /// in path name get |
| | simplified into one leading /. This change is related to the other |
| | security related changes below. |
| | |
| | Improved security of handling of archives from untrusted sources when |
| | they are unpacked. Added the -8 options allowinsecurepaths, |
| | allowinsecuresymlinks, and the default behavior described in the |
| | manpage when these options are not used. Also added the -1 s |
| | option. Updated reregression test input archives to account for new |
| | behavior. Based on patch and e-mail input from Philipp Gesang. |
| | |
| | Added the -8 nosymlinks option and the -1 l option. Based on patch by |
| | Philipp Gesang. |
| | |
| | Fixed buffer overflow risk in inhead() when reading symlink |
| | destination value from corrupt or tampered-with archive. |
| | |
| | Changed -H promptscript argument processing to allow prompt script |
| | path names containing spaces or other special characters. This |
| | improves compatibility with naming conventions on Windows-centric |
| | filesystem. This breaks old behavior where spaces in the prompt |
| | script argument could be used to add extra arguments. Based on bug |
| | report and suggestion by Philipp Gesang. |
| | |
| | Added SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS section to the manpage. |
