Updated: {liblzo2_2/liblzo2-devel/liblzo2-doc}-2.08-1: LZO data compression library


Hi

New versions of 'liblzo2_2/liblzo2-devel/liblzo2-doc' have been uploaded to a server near you.

 o Update to latest upstream version
 o Build for cygwin 1.7.32 with gcc-4.8.3
 o Package name change:  liblzo2 -> liblzo2-doc

liblzo2 NEWS:
=============
  
Changes in 2.08 (29 Jun 2014)
  * Updated the Autoconf scripts to fix some reported build problems.
  * Added CMake build support.
  * Fixed lzo_init() on big-endian architectures like Sparc.

Changes in 2.07 (25 Jun 2014)
  * Fixed a potential integer overflow condition in the "safe" decompressor
    variants which could result in a possible buffer overrun when
    processing maliciously crafted compressed input data.

    Fortunately this issue only affects 32-bit systems and also can only happen
    if you use uncommonly huge buffer sizes where you have to decompress more
    than 16 MiB (> 2^24 bytes) untrusted compressed bytes within a single
    function call, so the practical implications are limited.

    POTENTIAL SECURITY ISSUE. CVE-2014-4607.

  * Removed support for ancient configurations like 16-bit "huge" pointers -
    LZO now requires a flat 32-bit or 64-bit memory model.
  * Assorted cleanups.
