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). + +Changes between versions 0.4b30 and 0.4b31 (released July 30, 2002) +=================================================================== + +1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over + rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi + for reporting the bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002) +=================================================================== 1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command, in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this usage in dump's man page. - + +2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big + endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was + contributed by George Helffrich . + +3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes + and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold + for reporting the bug. + +4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based + on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD + media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to + Georg Lippold for the new scripts. + +5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved + by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD + inode format, which means that the tape format was changed. + However, since all restore versions out there should + transparently support both inode formats, the change should + have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu for + reporting the bug. + +6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling + with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree + for reporting this. + +7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to + Eric S. Raymond for submitting the + patch. + +8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro + package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD + format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify. + Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002) ==================================================================
