Changes from 0.37 to 0.38
- Fix for reading some chm files. Running over a large directory of chm files, about 1% of them turned out to be unreadable. This resulted from an incomplete understanding of one of the header fields (index_root). Apparently, this can take negative values other than -1. - Security fix for extract_chmLib. Pathnames containing a ".." element will not be extracted. There doesn't seem to be a legitimate reason to use ".." as a path element in a chm file. Changes from 0.36 to 0.37 - Major security fix for stack overflow vulnerability: http://www.sven-tantau.de/public_files/chmlib/chmlib_20051126.txt - Corrected the broken Makefile.in. Changes from 0.35 to 0.36 - Major security fix (iDEFENSE Security Advisory IDEF1099 - Stack Overflow Vulnerability) - Major security fix from Palasik Sandor (LZX decompression buffer overrun) - Bugfix/enhancement from David Huseby to make the "what" flags to chm_enumerate work correctly, and to pass the flags along to the callback function (via the chmUnitInfo structure) so that the callback doesn't need to re-parse the filename. - Compilation fixes for x86-64 from Vitaly V. Bursov. - Miscellaneous fixes to the configure script, including some significant cleanup by Vadim Zeitlin. The changes from Vadim should also allow the configure script to correctly configure the build on OS X, where it was previously failing to note that pread64 doesn't work. - Minor update to the Makefile.in to do a mkdir before the install, in case the specified INSTALLPREFIX directory is non-existent Changes from 0.32 to 0.35 - UTF-8 filenames, while still not handled correctly, are handled a little more gracefully. That is to say, the library doesn't fail to open files with filenames using characters outside the ASCII subset. I'm very interested in any information as to the "right" way to handle filenames of this sort. - Files not containing a compressed section are handled properly, such as .chw files. These files seem to contain information about compression, but the information is invalid or empty. The library deals gracefully with this now. - Files compressed with different options were not being decompressed properly. In particular, if the "reset interval" for the compressed section was other than 2 block sizes, it could fail to read some of the files. - The caching system was improved slightly, in conjunction with this previous bugfix. Changes from 0.3 to 0.32: - [Rich Erwin] Minor portability fixes for Windows CE. - [Pabs] Minor bugfix regarding detecting directory entries versus empty files. - [Antony Dovgal] autoconf-based build process - [Ragnar Hojland Espinosa] Feature additions for chm_http: * Use SO_REUSEADDR * Allow --bind= and --port= command line arguments - Simple makefile has been fixed (finally) to use gcc instead of gcc-3.2. (Sorry, everybody!) Changes from 0.2 to 0.3: - initial attempt at portability to Win32. - bugfixes from Stan Tobias: * memory corruption error with caching system * case insensitivity, to match with the Windows semantics - modification to chm_http by Stan Tobias: * when the user requests the page '/', they get a page with links to all of the files in the archive - Andrew Hodgetts has ported the library to Solaris and Irix. See README for details. - Stuart Caie has granted permission to relicense under the LGPL. |
