Synopsis
squashfs-tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated squashfs-tools package that fixes two bugs is now available.
Description
Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. This
package contains the utilities for manipulating squashfs file systems.
- A glibc update exposed a coding error in mksquashfs. This error
resulted in dracut hanging while booting the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Hypervisor from PXE/CDROM/USB and an invalid LiveCD
image being produced. The lines "memcpy(data_cache, data_cache +
SQUASHFS_METADATA_SIZE," and "memcpy(directory_data_cache,
directory_data_cache +" were changed respectively to
"memmove(data_cache, data_cache + SQUASHFS_METADATA_SIZE," and
"memmove(directory_data_cache, directory_data_cache +", thus a Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor boot from PXE/CDROM/USB now
successfully completes without hanging during a boot. (BZ#676774)
- An error in unsquashfs code caused it to abort with "FATAL ERROR
aborting: failed to read fragment table" during attempts to read a v3
image. The line "return;"is changed to "return TRUE;", thus unsquashfs
is now able to read v3 images. (BZ#655952)
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated squashfs-tools package
which resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
