@@ -2,6 +2,27 @@ User visible changes for LZO -- a real-time data compression library ============================================================================ +Changes in 2.08 (29 Jun 2014) + * Updated the Autoconf scripts to fix some reported build problems. + * Added CMake build support. + * Fixed lzo_init() on big-endian architectures like Sparc. + +Changes in 2.07 (25 Jun 2014) + * Fixed a potential integer overflow condition in the "safe" decompressor + variants which could result in a possible buffer overrun when + processing maliciously crafted compressed input data. + + Fortunately this issue only affects 32-bit systems and also can only happen + if you use uncommonly huge buffer sizes where you have to decompress more + than 16 MiB (> 2^24 bytes) untrusted compressed bytes within a single + function call, so the practical implications are limited. + + POTENTIAL SECURITY ISSUE. CVE-2014-4607. + + * Removed support for ancient configurations like 16-bit "huge" pointers - + LZO now requires a flat 32-bit or 64-bit memory model. + * Assorted cleanups. + Changes in 2.06 (12 Aug 2011) * Some minor optimizations for big-endian architectures. * Fixed overly strict malloc() misalignment check in examples. |
