Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead + of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old + locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the + dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack + on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new + scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file. + Thanks to Richard Johnson for + reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post). + +2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings + about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling + for reporting this + bug. + +3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes. + +4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB + (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs + this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp + for reporting this. + +5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an + inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount + of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin + for reporting this bug. + +6. Fixed a bug which caused restore, in some particular cases, + to ask some 'scary' questions and leave a bunch of RSTTMP + directories behind when restoring incremental tapes. Thanks + to Philippe Troin for reporting this bug and + providing the test cases. + +7. Changed the wording when inodes are excluded from dump: + replaced 'Added inode 7 to exclude list' with + 'Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump', as suggested + by Elliott Mitchell in a Debian bug report. Changes between versions 0.4b30 and 0.4b31 (released July 30, 2002) ===================================================================
