- update to 4.6.1:
* Race condition which can cause corruption of the "fragment
table" fixed. This is a regression introduced in August 2022,
and it has been seen when tailend packing is used (-tailends option).
* Fix build failure when the tools are being built without
extended attribute (XATTRs) support.
* Fix XATTR error message when an unrecognised prefix is
found
* Fix incorrect free of pointer when an unrecognised XATTR
prefix is found.
* Major improvements in extended attribute handling,
pseudo file handling, and miscellaneous new options and
improvements
* Extended attribute handling improved in Mksquashfs and
Sqfstar
* New Pseudo file xattr definition to add extended
attributes to files.
* New xattrs-add Action to add extended attributes to files
* Extended attribute handling improved in Unsquashfs
* Other major improvements
* Unsquashfs can now output Pseudo files to standard out.
* Mksquashfs can now input Pseudo files from standard in.
* Squashfs filesystems can now be converted (different
block size compression etc) without unpacking to an
intermediate filesystem or mounting, by piping the output of
Unsquashfs to Mksquashfs.
* Pseudo files are now supported by Sqfstar.
* "Non-anchored" excludes are now supported by Unsquashfs.

- update to 4.5.1 (bsc#1190531, CVE-2021-41072):
* This release adds Manpages for Mksquashfs(1), Unsquashfs(1),
Sqfstar(1) and Sqfscat(1).
* The -help text output from the utilities has been improved
and extended as well (but the Manpages are now more
comprehensive).
* CVE-2021-41072 which is a writing outside of destination
exploit, has been fixed.
* The number of hard-links in the filesystem is now also
displayed by Mksquashfs in the output summary.
* The number of hard-links written by Unsquashfs is now
also displayed in the output summary.
* Unsquashfs will now write to a pre-existing destination
directory, rather than aborting.
* Unsquashfs now allows "." to used as the destination, to
extract to the current directory.
* The Unsquashfs progress bar now tracks empty files and
hardlinks, in addition to data blocks.
* -no-hardlinks option has been implemented for Sqfstar.
* More sanity checking for "corrupted" filesystems, including
checks for multiply linked directories and directory loops.
* Options that may cause filesystems to be unmountable have
been moved into a new "experts" category in the Mksquashfs
help text (and Manpage).
* Maximum cpiostyle filename limited to PATH_MAX. This
prevents attempts to overflow the stack, or cause system
calls to fail with a too long pathname.
* Don't always use "max open file limit" when calculating
length of queues, as a very large file limit can cause
Unsquashfs to abort. Instead use the smaller of max open

- update to 4.5:
* Mksquashfs now supports "Actions".
* New sqfstar command which will create a Squashfs image from a tar archive.
* Tar style handling of source pathnames in Mksquashfs.
* Cpio style handling of source pathnames in Mksquashfs.
* New option to throttle the amount of CPU and I/O.
* Mksquashfs now allows no source directory to be specified.
* New Pseudo file "R" definition which allows a Regular file
o be created with data stored within the Pseudo file.
* Symbolic links are now followed in extract files
* Unsquashfs now supports "exclude" files.
* Max depth traversal option added.
* Unsquashfs can now output a "Pseudo file" representing the
input Squashfs filesystem.
* New -one-file-system option in Mksquashfs.
* New -no-hardlinks option in Mksquashfs.
* Exit code in Unsquashfs changed to distinguish between
non-fatal errors (exit 2), and fatal errors (exit 1).
* Xattr id count added in Unsquashfs "-stat" output.
* Unsquashfs "write outside directory" exploit fixed.
* Error handling in Unsquashfs writer thread fixed.
* Fix failure to truncate destination if appending aborted.
* Prevent Mksquashfs reading the destination file.

- The ppc64 kernel uses a page size of 64kB but mksquashfs only
pads to a 4kB boundary. When we loopback mount a squashfs file
that isn't 64kB aligned and access the last sector of the
associated loopback device we see a stream of errors.
Disk partitioning tools seem to like accessing the last 512
bytes of partitions.
This should fix warnings seen during starting installation on
ppc64 and IA64 (forwarded request 90070 from k0da)
