Subject: musl 1.1.16 release
Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2017 20:07:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170103010736.GA4387@brightrain.aerifal.cx> (raw)
This release fixes a serious under-allocation bug in regexec due to
integer overflow (CVE-2016-8859) and related issues.
Implementation-defined regex anchoring behavior in BRE subexpressions
has also been changed to match other implementations. A bug causing
all static-pie binaries with initialized TLS to crash at startup has
been fixed. Overflow handling in printf has been overhauled to
correctly handle obscure corner cases. Additional noteworthy bugs have
been fixed in swprintf, strtod, getopt_long_only, and time conversion
and zone handling. A major MIPS-specific regression in 1.1.15 that
prevented tcsetattr from working at all has also been fixed.
A new port to s390x (64-bit S/390), header-level support for Linux
4.7, 4.8, and 4.9 features, and a facility to increase default thread
stack size via pthread_setattr_default_np have also been added in this
release, along with other minor features and compatibility
improvements.
