1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension Convert::UUlib.
2    
3 root 1.76 04:59:03 <kentnl> schmorp: you may want to change the description on Convert-UUlib, because your bundled copy
4     is now better maintained and has fewer security risks than upstreams :p
5     04:59:49 <kentnl> to the point I've been humoring the idea of cribbing its code and shipping it as a
6     replacement for other things currently using the original uulib
7     06:51:00 <schmorp> kentnl: well, hmm, but change it to what, it still is an interface to "a" uulib library at
8     least
9     06:52:26 <kentnl> Maybe "Convert to/from uuencoded data in C" or something like that.
10     TODO: UUInsertPartToList at uucheck.c:1172 main timesink now
11    
12     - very minor code improvements.
13 root 1.77 - use getc instead of fgetc.
14     - clean up FP _symbol names.
15     - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked.
16 root 1.76
17 root 1.75 1.71 Tue Mar 17 00:54:06 CET 2020
18 root 1.74 - backport to c89 (patch by Paul Howarth).
19    
20 root 1.73 1.7 Sat Feb 29 22:07:54 CET 2020
21 root 1.70 - new function: GetFileList.
22 root 1.69 - experimental perlmulticore support (see manpage).
23 root 1.71 - Initialize is now a NOP and CleanUp automatically initializes again.
24 root 1.72 - updated example decoder and documentation a bit.
25 root 1.67 - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness.
26 root 1.68 - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc.
27 root 1.67 - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme,
28     which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding.
29 root 1.68 - yEnc: do not calculate two crcs per part, instead, combine
30     the part crcs together to form the file crc.
31 root 1.66 - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as
32     some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use.
33 root 1.69 - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part,
34     which avoids spurious corruption warnings.
35 root 1.67 - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING.
36 root 1.72 - convert constant creation to the method I normally use.
37     - use common::sense.
38 root 1.65
39 root 1.64 1.62 Mon Feb 17 23:19:42 CET 2020
40 root 1.63 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
41     to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
42     with very slow fgetc.
43    
44     1.61 Sun Feb 9 18:38:29 CET 2020
45 root 1.62 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
46     and some other minor issues.
47    
48 root 1.61 1.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019
49     - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
50     by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
51     on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
52     of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.
53    
54 root 1.60 1.5 Sat Jul 11 03:56:06 CEST 2015
55 root 1.58 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
56     - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
57     allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
58     pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
59     safely in the future.
60 root 1.59 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
61 root 1.60 - added stability canary support.
62 root 1.58
63 root 1.56 1.4 Sun May 29 17:17:01 CEST 2011
64     - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
65     message is too long.
66 root 1.57 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
67 root 1.55 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
68     before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
69    
70 root 1.54 1.34 Tue Dec 14 22:20:00 CET 2010
71 root 1.53 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
72     (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
73     - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.
74    
75 root 1.52 1.33 Wed Oct 28 09:04:38 CET 2009
76 root 1.51 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
77     I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
78     what he does;
79     but I doubt he even knows;
80     what he did.
81    
82 root 1.50 1.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
83     - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
84     (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
85    
86 root 1.49 1.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
87 root 1.48 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
88     functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
89     (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
90     disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.
91    
92 root 1.47 1.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
93 root 1.46 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
94     expected (but not intended).
95 root 1.47 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
96 root 1.46 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
97     (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
98 root 1.44 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
99 root 1.45 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
100     (easily by a factor of 10..100).
101     - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
102     - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
103     - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
104     255 octet ones.
105     - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
106 root 1.44
107 root 1.43 1.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
108 root 1.41 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
109     to avoid false matches.
110 root 1.42 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
111 root 1.56 - removed potentially confusing decode_temp calls from
112 root 1.43 example decoder.
113 root 1.41
114 root 1.39 1.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
115     - don't ask.
116    
117 root 1.38 1.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
118     - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
119 root 1.40 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
120 root 1.38
121 root 1.37 1.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
122     - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
123     it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
124     files.
125     - some minor cleanups.
126    
127 root 1.33 1.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
128 root 1.34 - URGENT update, the last release did not
129 root 1.33 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
130 root 1.38 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
131 root 1.33 (sorry. looked simple...).
132    
133 root 1.32 1.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
134     - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
135 root 1.33 and patch by Mark Martinec.
136 root 1.32
137 root 1.31 1.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
138 root 1.29 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
139     fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
140     reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
141 root 1.30 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
142     stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
143 root 1.29
144 root 1.28 1.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
145     - change of contact address.
146     - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
147    
148 root 1.27 1.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
149     - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
150     and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
151    
152 root 1.26 1.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
153     - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
154     Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
155    
156 root 1.25 1.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
157     - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
158     overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
159     were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
160     documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
161     As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
162     I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
163     to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
164    
165 root 1.24 1.02 Sun Apr 18 16:47:26 CEST 2004
166     - renamed crc32 to uulib_crc32, to work around yet another
167     shortcoming in this oh-so-outdated macosx.
168    
169 root 1.23 1.01 Sun Feb 1 19:49:51 CET 2004
170 root 1.22 - make it compile with 5.005_03 (reported by Anton Berezin).
171 root 1.23 - very short files might not be detected because the header
172     parsing code might skip them.
173 root 1.22
174 root 1.21 1.0 Thu Nov 6 14:32:08 CET 2003
175 root 1.20 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x),
176     and use the last bracket found otherwise.
177     - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized.
178 root 1.21 - updated to uulib-0.5.19. Differences and bugfixes kept.
179 root 1.20
180 root 1.19 0.31 Wed Oct 16 01:22:34 CEST 2002
181     - no internal code changes.
182 root 1.18 - much better documentation, now considered "useful".
183     - removed the procedural interface.
184 root 1.20 - fought the wish to perl-5.8'ify and thus simplify the code :().
185 root 1.19 - stress-tested version 0.3 against 70000 data postings since sunday.
186 root 1.18
187 root 1.15 0.3 Sun Oct 13 15:12:11 CEST 2002
188 root 1.17 - updated to uulib 0.5.18. As expected, some but not all of my bugfixes
189 root 1.20 have went into uulib, so the number of differences decreased a bit
190 root 1.17 again.
191     - I found out that the library is being sold commercially by Frank
192     Pilhofer, disregarding the GPL and ignoring the rights of the people
193     who sent in patches :(
194 root 1.14 - vastly more useful documentation in the .pm file.
195 root 1.16 - much smaller distribution filesize ;)
196 root 1.14
197 root 1.12 0.213 Sat Jul 27 21:16:30 CEST 2002
198     - fixed another buffer overflow, also added a santity check to fgets.
199    
200 root 1.10 0.212 Sat Apr 6 03:52:13 CEST 2002
201     - fix yEnc decoding support.
202     - new option OPT_DOTDOT, that makes uulib unescape dot-escaping.
203 root 1.11 - increased linelength to 1195.
204 root 1.10
205 root 1.9 0.211 Fri Apr 5 23:56:46 CEST 2002
206 root 1.13 - *sigh*. new version of uulib, new braindamaged buffer overflows
207     fixed. Diffs like "line length 256 => 300" should have
208 root 1.9 alerted me...
209    
210 root 1.7 0.21 Sun Mar 31 22:06:05 CEST 2002
211     - bumped uulib from 0.5.15 to 0.5.17 (adds some yEnc support, YENC_ENCODED).
212     - source-renamed FP_*-symbols to _FP_* again, but still define them
213     to be FP_* in the object file.
214 root 1.8 - new callback: SetFileNameCallback (actually documented ;)
215 root 1.7
216 root 1.6 0.201 Sun Sep 16 03:43:38 CEST 2001
217 root 1.5 - fixed another segfault-bug in uulib, thanks to Lars Hecking who
218     provides all the test files ;)
219 root 1.2
220 root 1.5 0.2 Thu Jun 14 18:42:49 CEST 2001
221     - Frank Pilhofer is NOT dead! He is alive, kicking, and fixing
222 root 1.1 bugs in uulib now! Since his uulib and mine diverged quite
223     a bit I am still in the process of merging his bugfixes
224     into my version. So be aware that this might introduce new
225     instabilities...
226     - merged uulib-0.5.15
227 root 1.3 - optimize decode_file to not copy the file contents when a rename
228     succeeds (TMPDIR same disk as destination).
229 root 1.4 - updated documentation.
230 root 1.1
231     0.111 Fri May 4 22:29:09 CEST 2001
232     - heuristic to decode microsoft-rfc822-headers (microsoft uses
233     '\' as path seperator which is also the rfc822 quote character.
234     of course they could have quoted it, but it's microsoft, so
235     only the devil knows how they try to parse mime (they obviously
236     haven't read the standard AGAIN). in case you wonder, this fixes
237     the "c:my_documentssend.doc" "filename" problem.
238    
239     0.11 Sun Jul 16 22:42:57 CEST 2000
240     - fixed a bug in the file callback.
241    
242     0.10 Tue May 2 03:31:09 CEST 2000
243     - fixed one very longstanding bug that might have been the cause
244     for the many mysterious segmentation faults. Hopefully.
245     - improved documentation to the point that it slowly becomes useful
246     as a (very quick) reference.
247    
248     0.07 Wed Nov 24 18:45:23 CET 1999
249     - removed END { CleanUp } from UUlib.pm, perl is too
250     buggy to rely on this in the face of popen etc..
251    
252     0.06 Thu Jul 29 22:48:18 CEST 1999
253     - Thierry Bezecourt had the very reasonable idea to include
254     the example source in the manpage.
255    
256     0.05 Mon May 24 11:37:25 CEST 1999
257     - LoadFile returns number of parts loaded.
258    
259     0.04 Mon May 10 22:02:31 CEST 1999
260     - fixed a couple of portability problems.
261     - UUEncodeToStream had a wrong definition.
262     - added primitive testsuite.
263     - added README.
264    
265     0.03 Sat May 8 22:40:01 CEST 1999
266     - renamed it to Convert::UUlib.
267    
268     0.02 Fri May 7 01:26:19 CEST 1999
269     - function names exportable (use :all-tag).
270     - made uulist-related functions methods.
271     - the first fix from cpan-tester. *sigh* you people save the
272     world, continuously.
273    
274     0.01 Thu May 6 14:30:44 1999
275     - original version; created by h2xs 1.19
276
