Subject: bzip2 1.0.8 released
Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6e0d885d845484b1f304bfca5b141c094d1f33b1.camel@klomp.org> (raw)
We are happy to announce the release of bzip2 1.0.8.
This is an fixup release because the CVE-2019-12900 fix
in bzip2 1.0.7 was too strict and might have prevented
decompression of some files that earlier bzip2 versions
could decompress. And it contains a few more patches from
various distros and forks.
bzip2 1.0.8 contains the following fixes:
* Accept as many selectors as the file format allows.
This relaxes the fix for CVE-2019-12900 from 1.0.7
so that bzip2 allows decompression of bz2 files that
use (too) many selectors again.
* Fix handling of large (> 4GB) files on Windows.
* Cleanup of bzdiff and bzgrep scripts so they don't use
any bash extensions and handle multiple archives correctly.
* There is now a bz2-files testsuite at
https://sourceware.org/git/bzip2-tests.git
Patches by Joshua Watt, Mark Wielaard, Phil Ross, Vincent Lefevre,
Led and Kristýna Streitová.
