-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-4447 2008-01-16 18:55:42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : e2fsprogs Product : Fedora 8 Version : 1.40.2 Release : 12.fc8 URL : http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Utilities for managing the second and third extended (ext2/ext3) filesystems Description : The e2fsprogs package contains a number of utilities for creating, checking, modifying, and correcting any inconsistencies in second and third extended (ext2/ext3) filesystems. E2fsprogs contains e2fsck (used to repair filesystem inconsistencies after an unclean shutdown), mke2fs (used to initialize a partition to contain an empty ext2 filesystem), debugfs (used to examine the internal structure of a filesystem, to manually repair a corrupted filesystem, or to create test cases for e2fsck), tune2fs (used to modify filesystem parameters), and most of the other core ext2fs filesystem utilities. You should install the e2fsprogs package if you need to manage the performance of an ext2 and/or ext3 filesystem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: CVE-2007-5497 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Dec 11 2007 Eric Sandeen <esandeen@redhat.com> 1.40.2-12 - Fix integer overflows (#414581 / CVE-2007-5497) * Tue Nov 27 2007 Eric Sandeen <esandeen@redhat.com> 1.40.2-11 - Use upstream patch for blkid fat detection, avoids div-by-zero when encountering some BSD partitions (#398281) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #414581 - CVE-2007-5497 e2fsprogs multiple integer overflows [F8] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414581 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updated packages: 776310be2583d7f805408c9b0419c11f60677b5f e2fsprogs-debuginfo-1.40.2-12.fc8.ppc64.rpm 0dcbd3e2c6d9e66a9c04d5f0955cba78406fbf44 e2fsprogs-1.40.2-12.fc8.ppc64.rpm ff4f44a50ac774b6463c15c58a0e3677d7fc0642 e2fsprogs-devel-1.40.2-12.fc8.ppc64.rpm 77a3495070753a018772f166b5557feca2a2aeec e2fsprogs-libs-1.40.2-12.fc8.ppc64.rpm 736d09c28f3e1a6a6c25d853f73f5cf38a5533f4 e2fsprogs-devel-1.40.2-12.fc8.i386.rpm 5b326984fec5e1afa59cea059fe5c098b4a96a5c e2fsprogs-1.40.2-12.fc8.i386.rpm 9066d4a84003d35ff52daefe754c1fafdd057787 e2fsprogs-debuginfo-1.40.2-12.fc8.i386.rpm 7ea9bdde09a650c2ad95f427d4ed402f44ccfc92 e2fsprogs-libs-1.40.2-12.fc8.i386.rpm ce07543f85739042f9e0a998538d8a7f4ac037f9 e2fsprogs-1.40.2-12.fc8.x86_64.rpm 513351566c440f69d05c7f34200517ead541c09f e2fsprogs-libs-1.40.2-12.fc8.x86_64.rpm 22ffa76abebd5a7963285946210bb9760d5ed797 e2fsprogs-devel-1.40.2-12.fc8.x86_64.rpm a607ee8151f73d0b6849d4756661fa1a0a828ed8 e2fsprogs-debuginfo-1.40.2-12.fc8.x86_64.rpm f8ce4302db338f25e8fdbd022c664f970c792737 e2fsprogs-devel-1.40.2-12.fc8.ppc.rpm 7ad1cc5a4389a5c8c174244f9f979a6a68f98996 e2fsprogs-libs-1.40.2-12.fc8.ppc.rpm f5746876daf9cb7b04af208be404714ca9cde83e e2fsprogs-debuginfo-1.40.2-12.fc8.ppc.rpm c929b5cd5e11af5a7ab1ec6b61df1e71145ce261 e2fsprogs-1.40.2-12.fc8.ppc.rpm 6664b00c56f87d7a9e09bacd9b921eddea639fe1 e2fsprogs-1.40.2-12.fc8.src.rpm This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
