Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.10.1alpha, Package name: libmspack-0.10.1alpha, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

The purpose of libmspack is to provide compressors and decompressors,
archivers and dearchivers for Microsoft compression formats: CAB, CHM, WIM,
LIT, HLP, KWAJ and SZDD. It is also designed to be easily embeddable,
stable, robust and resource-efficient.

Log message: Update libmspack to 0.10.1alpha 2019-02-18 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk> * chmd_read_headers(): a CHM file name beginning "::" but shorter than 33 bytes will lead to reading past the freshly-allocated name buffer - checks for specific control filenames didn't take length into account. Thanks to ADLab of Venustech for the report and proof of concept. 2019-02-18 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk> * chmd_read_headers(): CHM files can declare their chunks are any size up to 4GB, and libmspack will attempt to allocate that to read the file. This is not a security issue; libmspack doesn't promise how much memory it'll use to unpack files. You can set your own limits by returning NULL in a custom mspack_system.alloc() implementation. However, it would be good to validate chunk size further. With no offical specification, only empirical data is available. All files created by hhc.exe have a chunk size of 4096 bytes, and this is matched by all the files I've found in the wild, except for one which has a chunk size of 8192 bytes, which was created by someone developing a CHM file creator 15 years ago, and they appear to have abandoned it, so it seems 4096 is a de-facto standard. I've changed the "chunk size is not a power of two" warning to "chunk size is not 4096", and now only allow chunk sizes between 22 and 8192 bytes. If you have CHM files with a larger chunk size, please send them to me and I'll increase this upper limit. Thanks to ADLab of Venustech for the report. 2019-02-18 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk> * oabd.c: replaced one-shot copying of uncompressed blocks (which requires allocating a buffer of the size declared in the header, which can be 4GB) with a fixed-size buffer. The buffer size is user-controllable with the new msoab_decompressor::set_param() method (check you have version 2 of the OAB decompressor), and also controls the input buffer used for OAB's LZX decompression. Reminder: compression formats can dictate how much memory is needed to decompress them. If memory usage is a security concern to you, write a custom mspack_system.alloc() that returns NULL if "too much" memory is requested. Do not rely on libmspack adding special heuristics to know not to request "too much". Thanks to ADLab of Venustech for the report.

Log message: libmspack: update to 0.7.1alpha. There are no bugfixes or new features. This release obfuscates one of the test files to make libmspack distribution possible.

Log message: libmspack: update to 0.7alpha. 2018-04-26 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk>	* read_chunk(): the test that chunk numbers are in bounds was off	by one, so read_chunk() returned a pointer taken from outside	allocated memory that usually crashes libmspack when accessed.	Thanks to Hanno Böck for finding the issue and providing a sample.	* chmd_read_headers(): reject files with blank filenames. Thanks	again to Hanno Böck for finding the issue and providing a sample file. 2018-02-06 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk>	* chmd.c: fixed an off-by-one error in the TOLOWER() macro, reported	by Dmitry Glavatskikh. Thanks Dmitry! 2017-11-26 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk>	* kwajd_read_headers(): fix up the logic of reading the filename and	extension headers to avoid a one or two byte overwrite. Thanks to	Jakub Wilk for finding the issue.	* test/kwajd_test.c: add tests for KWAJ filename.ext handling 2017-10-16 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk>	* test/cabd_test.c: update the short string tests to expect not only	MSPACK_ERR_DATAFORMAT but also MSPACK_ERR_READ, because of the recent	change to cabd_read_string(). Thanks to maitreyee43 for spotting this.	* test/msdecompile_md5: update the setup instructions for this script,	and also change the script so it works with current Wine. Again, thanks	to maitreyee43 for trying to use it and finding it not working. 2017-08-13 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk>	* src/chmextract.c: support MinGW one-arg mkdir(). Thanks to AntumDeluge	for reporting this. 2017-08-13 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk>	* read_spaninfo(): a CHM file can have no ResetTable and have a	negative length in SpanInfo, which then feeds a negative output length	to lzxd_init(), which then sets frame_size to a value of your choosing,	the lower 32 bits of output length, larger than LZX_FRAME_SIZE. If the	first LZX block is uncompressed, this writes data beyond the end of the	window. This issue was raised by ClamAV as CVE-2017-6419. Thanks to	Sebastian Andrzej Siewior for finding this by chance!	* lzxd_init(), lzxd_set_output_length(), mszipd_init(): due to the issue	mentioned above, these functions now reject negative lengths 2017-08-05 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk>	* cabd_read_string(): add missing error check on result of read().	If an mspack_system implementation returns an error, it's interpreted	as a huge positive integer, which leads to reading past the end of the	stack-based buffer. Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior for explaining	the problem. This issue was raised by ClamAV as CVE-2017-11423 2016-04-20 Stuart Caie <kyzer@cabextract.org.uk>	* configure.ac: change my email address to kyzer@cabextract.org.uk 2015-05-10 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net>	* cabd_read_string(): correct rejection of empty strings. Thanks to	Hanno Böck for finding the issue and providing a sample file. 2015-05-10 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net>	* Makefile.am: Add subdir-objects option as suggested by autoreconf.	* configure.ac: Add AM_PROG_AR as suggested by autoreconf. 2015-01-29 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net>	* system.h: if C99 inttypes.h exists, use its PRI{d,u}{32,64} macros.	Thanks to Johnathan Kollasch for the suggestion.
