1Revision history for Perl extension Convert::UUlib. 1Revision history for Perl extension Convert::UUlib.
2
3 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
4 (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
5 - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.
6
71.33 Wed Oct 28 09:04:38 CET 2009
8 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
9 I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
10 what he does;
11 but I doubt he even knows;
12 what he did.
13
141.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
15 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
16 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
17
181.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
19 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
20 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
21 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
22 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.
23
241.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
25 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
26 expected (but not intended).
27 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
28 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
29 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
30 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
31 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
32 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
33 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
34 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
35 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
36 255 octet ones.
37 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
38
391.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
40 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
41 to avoid false matches.
42 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
43 - removed potentially confusing decide_temp calls from
44 example decoder.
45
461.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
47 - don't ask.
48
491.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
50 - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
51 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
52
531.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
54 - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
55 it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
56 files.
57 - some minor cleanups.
58
591.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
60 - URGENT update, the last release did not
61 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
62 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
63 (sorry. looked simple...).
64
651.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
66 - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
67 and patch by Mark Martinec.
68
691.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
70 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
71 fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
72 reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
73 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
74 stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
75
761.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
77 - change of contact address.
78 - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
79
801.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
81 - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
82 and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
83
841.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
85 - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
86 Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
87
881.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
89 - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
90 overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
91 were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
92 documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
93 As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
94 I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
95 to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
96
971.02 Sun Apr 18 16:47:26 CEST 2004
98 - renamed crc32 to uulib_crc32, to work around yet another
99 shortcoming in this oh-so-outdated macosx.
100
1011.01 Sun Feb 1 19:49:51 CET 2004
102 - make it compile with 5.005_03 (reported by Anton Berezin).
103 - very short files might not be detected because the header
104 parsing code might skip them.
105
1061.0 Thu Nov 6 14:32:08 CET 2003
107 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x),
108 and use the last bracket found otherwise.
109 - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized.
110 - updated to uulib-0.5.19. Differences and bugfixes kept.
111
1120.31 Wed Oct 16 01:22:34 CEST 2002
113 - no internal code changes.
114 - much better documentation, now considered "useful".
115 - removed the procedural interface.
116 - fought the wish to perl-5.8'ify and thus simplify the code :().
117 - stress-tested version 0.3 against 70000 data postings since sunday.
118
1190.3 Sun Oct 13 15:12:11 CEST 2002
120 - updated to uulib 0.5.18. As expected, some but not all of my bugfixes
121 have went into uulib, so the number of differences decreased a bit
122 again.
123 - I found out that the library is being sold commercially by Frank
124 Pilhofer, disregarding the GPL and ignoring the rights of the people
125 who sent in patches :(
126 - vastly more useful documentation in the .pm file.
127 - much smaller distribution filesize ;)
128
1290.213 Sat Jul 27 21:16:30 CEST 2002
130 - fixed another buffer overflow, also added a santity check to fgets.

30.212 Sat Apr 6 03:52:13 CEST 2002 1320.212 Sat Apr 6 03:52:13 CEST 2002
4 - fix yEnc decoding support. 133 - fix yEnc decoding support.
5 - new option OPT_DOTDOT, that makes uulib unescape dot-escaping. 134 - new option OPT_DOTDOT, that makes uulib unescape dot-escaping.
135 - increased linelength to 1195.

70.211 Fri Apr 5 23:56:46 CEST 2002 1370.211 Fri Apr 5 23:56:46 CEST 2002
8 - *sigh*. new version of uulib, new braindamaged buffer overflows. 138 - *sigh*. new version of uulib, new braindamaged buffer overflows
9 I would not use this code in a virus-scanner, despite my efforts
10 to fix uulib. Diffs like "line length 256 => 300" should have 139 fixed. Diffs like "line length 256 => 300" should have
11 alerted me... 140 alerted me...

130.21 Sun Mar 31 22:06:05 CEST 2002 1420.21 Sun Mar 31 22:06:05 CEST 2002
14 - bumped uulib from 0.5.15 to 0.5.17 (adds some yEnc support, YENC_ENCODED). 143 - bumped uulib from 0.5.15 to 0.5.17 (adds some yEnc support, YENC_ENCODED).
15 - source-renamed FP_*-symbols to _FP_* again, but still define them 144 - source-renamed FP_*-symbols to _FP_* again, but still define them
