3.13. e2fsprogs
Updated e2fsprogs packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The e2fsprogs packages provide a number of utilities for creating, checking, modifying, and correcting any inconsistencies in ext2 and ext3 file systems.
Bug Fixes
- BZ#885073
- Previously, under certain circumstances, the e2fsck utility handled incorrectly a file system error state stored in the journal superblock, which could cause the file system to be marked as "in error". With this update, such errors are properly propagated from the journal to the file system superblock, and e2fsck now clears errors from the journal properly if no recovery is required.
- BZ#905027
- Previously, the /usr/sbin/uuidd daemon was incorrectly assigned a user and group of root/root. Consequently, this deamon could gain root privileges and be directly executed by root. Moreover, the UID could have been reused in the passwd database, potentially causing a security leak. With this update, the uuidd daemon is assigned the "uuidd" user and group, thus fixing this bug.
- BZ#910214
- Previously, the chattr and lsattr commands did not properly return an error when operating on symbolic links. The underlying source code has been fixed, and performing these operations on symbolic links now correctly returns the "Operation not supported" message.
Users of e2fsprogs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
