3unix/uufnflt - filenamefilters 31.5
4Changes - his changes into uulib? 4 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
5 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
6 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
7 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
8 safely in the future.
9 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.

60.2 111.4 Sun May 29 17:17:01 CEST 2011
12 - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
13 message is too long.
14 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
15 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
16 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
17
181.34 Tue Dec 14 22:20:00 CET 2010
19 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
20 (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
21 - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.
22
231.33 Wed Oct 28 09:04:38 CET 2009
24 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
25 I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
26 what he does;
27 but I doubt he even knows;
28 what he did.
29
301.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
31 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
32 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
33
341.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
35 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
36 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
37 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
38 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.

401.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
41 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
42 expected (but not intended).
43 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
44 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
45 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
46 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
47 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
48 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
49 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
50 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
51 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
52 255 octet ones.
53 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
54
551.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
56 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
57 to avoid false matches.
58 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
59 - removed potentially confusing decode_temp calls from
60 example decoder.
61
621.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
63 - don't ask.
64
651.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
66 - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
67 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
68
691.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
70 - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
71 it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
72 files.
73 - some minor cleanups.
74
751.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
76 - URGENT update, the last release did not
77 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
78 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
79 (sorry. looked simple...).
80
811.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
82 - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
83 and patch by Mark Martinec.
84
851.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
86 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
87 fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
88 reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
89 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
90 stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
91
921.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
93 - change of contact address.
94 - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
95
961.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
97 - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
98 and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
99
1001.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
101 - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
102 Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
103
1041.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
105 - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
106 overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
107 were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
108 documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
109 As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
110 I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
111 to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
112
1131.02 Sun Apr 18 16:47:26 CEST 2004
114 - renamed crc32 to uulib_crc32, to work around yet another
115 shortcoming in this oh-so-outdated macosx.
116
1171.01 Sun Feb 1 19:49:51 CET 2004
118 - make it compile with 5.005_03 (reported by Anton Berezin).
119 - very short files might not be detected because the header
120 parsing code might skip them.
121
1221.0 Thu Nov 6 14:32:08 CET 2003
123 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x),
124 and use the last bracket found otherwise.
125 - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized.
126 - updated to uulib-0.5.19. Differences and bugfixes kept.
127
1280.31 Wed Oct 16 01:22:34 CEST 2002
129 - no internal code changes.
130 - much better documentation, now considered "useful".
131 - removed the procedural interface.
132 - fought the wish to perl-5.8'ify and thus simplify the code :().
133 - stress-tested version 0.3 against 70000 data postings since sunday.
134
1350.3 Sun Oct 13 15:12:11 CEST 2002
136 - updated to uulib 0.5.18. As expected, some but not all of my bugfixes
137 have went into uulib, so the number of differences decreased a bit
138 again.
139 - I found out that the library is being sold commercially by Frank
140 Pilhofer, disregarding the GPL and ignoring the rights of the people
141 who sent in patches :(
142 - vastly more useful documentation in the .pm file.
143 - much smaller distribution filesize ;)
144
1450.213 Sat Jul 27 21:16:30 CEST 2002
146 - fixed another buffer overflow, also added a santity check to fgets.
147
1480.212 Sat Apr 6 03:52:13 CEST 2002
149 - fix yEnc decoding support.
150 - new option OPT_DOTDOT, that makes uulib unescape dot-escaping.
151 - increased linelength to 1195.
152
1530.211 Fri Apr 5 23:56:46 CEST 2002
154 - *sigh*. new version of uulib, new braindamaged buffer overflows
155 fixed. Diffs like "line length 256 => 300" should have
156 alerted me...
157
1580.21 Sun Mar 31 22:06:05 CEST 2002
159 - bumped uulib from 0.5.15 to 0.5.17 (adds some yEnc support, YENC_ENCODED).
160 - source-renamed FP_*-symbols to _FP_* again, but still define them
161 to be FP_* in the object file.
162 - new callback: SetFileNameCallback (actually documented ;)
163
1640.201 Sun Sep 16 03:43:38 CEST 2001
165 - fixed another segfault-bug in uulib, thanks to Lars Hecking who
166 provides all the test files ;)
167
1680.2 Thu Jun 14 18:42:49 CEST 2001

12 - merged uulib-0.5.15 174 - merged uulib-0.5.15
175 - optimize decode_file to not copy the file contents when a rename
176 succeeds (TMPDIR same disk as destination).
177 - updated documentation.
