- update to 5.2.7:
* liblzma:
- Add API doc note about the .xz decoder LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR bug.
- Add dest and src NULL checks to lzma_index_cat.
The documentation states LZMA_PROG_ERROR can be returned from
lzma_index_cat. Previously, lzma_index_cat could not return
LZMA_PROG_ERROR. Now, the validation is similar to
lzma_index_append, which does a NULL check on the index
parameter.
- Fix copying of check type statistics in lzma_index_cat().
The check type of the last Stream in dest was never copied to
dest->checks (the code tried to copy it but it was done too late).
This meant that the value returned by lzma_index_checks() would
only include the check type of the last Stream when multiple
lzma_indexes had been concatenated.
In xz --list this meant that the summary would only list the
check type of the last Stream, so in this sense this was only
a visual bug. However, it's possible that some applications
use this information for purposes other than merely showing
it to the users in an informational message. I'm not aware of
such applications though and it's quite possible that such
applications don't exist.
Regular streamed decompression in xz or any other application
doesn't use lzma_index_cat() and so this bug cannot affect them.
- Stream decoder: Fix restarting after LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR.
If lzma_code() returns LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR it is now possible
to use lzma_memlimit_set() to increase the limit and continue
decoding. This was supposed to work from the beginning but
there was a bug. With other decoders (.lzma or threaded .xz)
this already worked correctly.
- lzma_filters_copy: Keep dest[] unmodified if an error occurs.
lzma_stream_encoder() and lzma_stream_encoder_mt() always assumed
this. Before this patch, failing lzma_filters_copy() could result
in free(invalid_pointer) or invalid memory reads in stream_encoder.c
or stream_encoder_mt.c.
To trigger this, allocating memory for a filter options structure
has to fail. These are tiny allocations so in practice they very
rarely fail.
Certain badness in the filter chain array could also make
lzma_filters_copy() fail but both stream_encoder.c and
stream_encoder_mt.c validate the filter chain before
trying to copy it, so the crash cannot occur this way.
- lzma_index_append: Add missing integer overflow check.
The documentation in src/liblzma/api/lzma/index.h suggests that
both the unpadded (compressed) size and the uncompressed size
are checked for overflow, but only the unpadded size was checked.
The uncompressed check is done first since that is more likely to
occur than the unpadded or index field size overflows.
- Vaccinate against an ill patch from RHEL/CentOS 7.
* xzgrep:
- Fix compatibility with old shells.
Turns out that some old shells don't like apostrophes (') inside
command substitutions. The problem was introduced by commits
69d1b3fc29677af8ade8dc15dba83f0589cb63d6 (2022-03-29),
bd7b290f3fe4faeceb7d3497ed9bf2e6ed5e7dc5 (2022-07-18), and
a648978b20495b7aa4a8b029c5a810b5ad9d08ff (2022-07-19).
5.2.6 is the only stable release that included
this problem.
* Translations: Add Turkish translation.
