  - CVE-2015-0247
* SECURITY UPDATE: buffer overflow in closefs()
  - properly check against fs->desc_blocks in lib/ext2fs/closefs.c.

Rebuild statically linked binary against recent libc.

39. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2010-03-22

* Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:
  - Do not build-depend on dietlibc-dev, which is universe.
  - Do now allow pkg-create-dbgsym to operate on this package.
  - Always use external libblkid and libuuid from util-linux, rather than
    building our own.
  - Includes debian/control in the source package to force the above.
  - Build with -O2 on powerpc to avoid a suspected toolchain bug
    (LP: #450214).
  - Do not include /etc/e2fsck.conf and remove on upgrade.
  (Fixes LP: #521648, #537483, #530071)

misc/mke2fs.c: Do not interactively ask for confirming bad performance on
uneven alignments when running with -F, since this breaks operations when
being called from noninteractive programs like udisks. Patch by Eric
Sandeen, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=569021 .
