5.2.9 (2022-11-30)
* liblzma:
- Fixed an infinite loop in LZMA encoder initialization
if dict_size >= 2 GiB. (The encoder only supports up
to 1536 MiB.)
- Fixed two cases of invalid free() that can happen if
a tiny allocation fails in encoder re-initialization
or in lzma_filters_update(). These bugs had some
similarities with the bug fixed in 5.2.7.
- Fixed lzma_block_encoder() not allowing the use of
LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH with lzma_code() even though it was
documented to be supported. The sync-flush code in
the Block encoder was already used internally via
lzma_stream_encoder(), so this was just a missing flag
in the lzma_block_encoder() API function.
- GNU/Linux only: Don't put symbol versions into static
liblzma as it breaks things in some cases (and even if
it didn't break anything, symbol versions in static
libraries are useless anyway). The downside of the fix
is that if the configure options --with-pic or --without-pic
are used then it's not possible to build both shared and
static liblzma at the same time on GNU/Linux anymore;
with those options --disable-static or --disable-shared
must be used too.
* New email address for bug reports is <xz@tukaani.org> which
forwards messages to Lasse Collin and Jia Tan.
The http://zlib.net/zlib-VERSION link only works for the currently
released version and break whenever zlib releases a new version
(which happened twice this year). This is also problematic when
building older LibreELEC versions as the older zlib can't be downloaded.
Switch PKG_URL to the tar.gz files at https://zlib.net/fossils/ as
this location provides all (current and older) releases.

5.2.7 (2022-09-30)
* liblzma:
- Made lzma_filters_copy() to never modify the destination
array if an error occurs. lzma_stream_encoder() and
lzma_stream_encoder_mt() already assumed this. Before this
change, if a tiny memory allocation in lzma_filters_copy()
failed it would lead to a crash (invalid free() or invalid
memory reads) in the cleanup paths of these two encoder
initialization functions.
- Added missing integer overflow check to lzma_index_append().
This affects xz --list and other applications that decode
the Index field from .xz files using lzma_index_decoder().
Normal decompression of .xz files doesn't call this code
and thus most applications using liblzma aren't affected
by this bug.
- Single-threaded .xz decoder (lzma_stream_decoder()): If
lzma_code() returns LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR it is now possible
to use lzma_memlimit_set() to increase the limit and continue
decoding. This was supposed to work from the beginning
but there was a bug. With other decoders (.lzma or
threaded .xz decoder) this already worked correctly.
- Fixed accumulation of integrity check type statistics in
lzma_index_cat(). This bug made lzma_index_checks() return
only the type of the integrity check of the last Stream
when multiple lzma_indexes were concatenated. Most
applications don't use these APIs but in xz it made
xz --list not list all check types from concatenated .xz
files. In xz --list --verbose only the per-file "Check:"
lines were affected and in xz --robot --list only the "file"
line was affected.
- Added ABI compatibility with executables that were linked
against liblzma in RHEL/CentOS 7 or other liblzma builds
that had copied the problematic patch from RHEL/CentOS 7
(xz-5.2.2-compat-libs.patch). For the details, see the
comment at the top of src/liblzma/validate_map.sh.
WARNING: This uses __symver__ attribute with GCC >= 10.
In other cases the traditional __asm__(".symver ...")
is used. Using link-time optimization (LTO, -flto) with
GCC versions older than 10 can silently result in
broken liblzma.so.5 (incorrect symbol versions)! If you
want to use -flto with GCC, you must use GCC >= 10.
LTO with Clang seems to work even with the traditional
__asm__(".symver ...") method.
* xzgrep: Fixed compatibility with old shells that break if
comments inside command substitutions have apostrophes (').
This problem was introduced in 5.2.6.
* Build systems:
- New #define in config.h: HAVE_SYMBOL_VERSIONS_LINUX
- Windows: Fixed liblzma.dll build with Visual Studio project
files. It broke in 5.2.6 due to a change that was made to
improve CMake support.
- Windows: Building liblzma with UNICODE defined should now
work.
- CMake files are now actually included in the release tarball.
They should have been in 5.2.5 already.
- Minor CMake fixes and improvements.
* Added a new translation: Turkish
5.2.6 released on 2022-08-12. This includes a security fix to xzgrep
(CVE-2022-1271, ZDI-CAN-16587) for which a standalone patch was already
released on 2022-04-07.
