Previously this required using --force but that has other
effects too which might be undesirable. Changing the behavior
of --keep has a small risk of breaking existing scripts but
since this is a fairly special corner case I expect the
likehood of breakage to be low enough.
I think the new behavior is more logical. The only reason for
the old behavior was to be consistent with gzip and bzip2.
Thanks to Vincent Lefevre and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
xzgrep wouldn't exit on SIGPIPE or SIGQUIT when it clearly
should have. It's quite possible that it's not perfect still
but at least it's much better.
If multiple exit statuses compete, now it tries to pick
the largest of value.
Some comments were added.
The exit status handling of signals is still broken if the shell
uses values larger than 255 in $? to indicate that a process
died due to a signal ***and*** their "exit" command doesn't take
this into account. This seems to work well with the ksh and yash
versions I tried. However, there is a report in gzip/zgrep that
OpenSolaris 5.11 (not 5.10) has a problem with "exit" truncating
the argument to 8 bits:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=22900#25
Such a bug would break xzgrep but I didn't add a workaround
at least for now. 5.11 is old and I don't know if the problem
exists in modern descendants, or if the problem exists in other
ksh implementations in use.
I don't know if this can make a difference in the real world
but it looked kind of suspicious (what happens with sed
implementations that cannot process very long lines?).
At least this commit shouldn't make it worse.
It avoids the use of sed for prefixing filenames to output lines.
Using sed for that is slower and prone to security bugs so now
the sed method is only used as a fallback.
This also fixes an actual bug: When grepping a binary file,
GNU grep nowadays prints its diagnostics to stderr instead of
stdout and thus the sed-method for prefixing the filename doesn't
work. So with this commit grepping binary files gives reasonable
output with GNU grep now.
This was inspired by zgrep but the implementation is different.
Also replace one use of expr with printf.
The rationale for LC_ALL=C was already mentioned in
69d1b3fc29 that fixed a security
issue. However, unrelated uses weren't changed in that commit yet.
POSIX says that with sed and such tools one should use LC_ALL=C
to ensure predictable behavior when strings contain byte sequences
that aren't valid multibyte characters in the current locale. See
under "Application usage" in here:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/sed.html
With GNU sed invalid multibyte strings would work without this;
it's documented in its Texinfo manual. Some other implementations
aren't so forgiving.
Fix handling of "xzgrep -25 foo" (in GNU grep "grep -25 foo" is
an alias for "grep -C25 foo"). xzgrep would treat "foo" as filename
instead of as a pattern. This bug was fixed in zgrep in gzip in 2012.
Add -E, -F, -G, and -P to the "no argument required" list.
Add -X to "argument required" list. It is an
intentionally-undocumented GNU grep option so this isn't
an important option for xzgrep but it seems that other grep
implementations (well, those that I checked) don't support -X
so I hope this change is an improvement still.
grep -d (grep --directories=ACTION) requires an argument. In
contrast to zgrep, I kept -d in the "no argument required" list
because it's not supported in xzgrep (or zgrep). This way
"xzgrep -d" gives an error about option being unsupported instead
of telling that it requires an argument. Both zgrep and xzgrep
tell that it's unsupported if an argument is specified.
Add comments.
Turns out that this is needed for .lzma files as the spec in
LZMA SDK says that end marker may be present even if the size
is stored in the header. Such files are rare but exist in the
real world. The code in liblzma is so old that the spec didn't
exist in LZMA SDK back then and I had understood that such
files weren't possible (the lzma tool in LZMA SDK didn't
create such files).
This modifies the internal API so that LZMA decoder can be told
if EOPM is allowed even when the uncompressed size is known.
It's allowed with .lzma and not with other uses.
Thanks to Karl Beldan for reporting the problem.
Malicious filenames can make xzgrep to write to arbitrary files
or (with a GNU sed extension) lead to arbitrary code execution.
xzgrep from XZ Utils versions up to and including 5.2.5 are
affected. 5.3.1alpha and 5.3.2alpha are affected as well.
This patch works for all of them.
This bug was inherited from gzip's zgrep. gzip 1.12 includes
a fix for zgrep.
The issue with the old sed script is that with multiple newlines,
the N-command will read the second line of input, then the
s-commands will be skipped because it's not the end of the
file yet, then a new sed cycle starts and the pattern space
is printed and emptied. So only the last line or two get escaped.
One way to fix this would be to read all lines into the pattern
space first. However, the included fix is even simpler: All lines
except the last line get a backslash appended at the end. To ensure
that shell command substitution doesn't eat a possible trailing
newline, a colon is appended to the filename before escaping.
The colon is later used to separate the filename from the grep
output so it is fine to add it here instead of a few lines later.
The old code also wasn't POSIX compliant as it used \n in the
replacement section of the s-command. Using \<newline> is the
POSIX compatible method.
LC_ALL=C was added to the two critical sed commands. POSIX sed
manual recommends it when using sed to manipulate pathnames
because in other locales invalid multibyte sequences might
cause issues with some sed implementations. In case of GNU sed,
these particular sed scripts wouldn't have such problems but some
other scripts could have, see:
info '(sed)Locale Considerations'
This vulnerability was discovered by:
cleemy desu wayo working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative
Thanks to Jim Meyering and Paul Eggert discussing the different
ways to fix this and for coordinating the patch release schedule
with gzip.
If lzma_index_append() failed (most likely memory allocation failure)
it could have gone unnoticed and the resulting .xz file would have
an incorrect Index. Decompressing such a file would produce the
correct uncompressed data but then an error would occur when
verifying the Index field.
Now it limits the input and output buffer sizes that are
passed to a raw decoder. This way there's no need to check
if the sizes can grow too big or overflow when updating
Compressed Size and Uncompressed Size counts. This also means
that a corrupt file cannot cause the raw decoder to process
useless extra input or output that would exceed the size info
in Block Header (and thus cause LZMA_DATA_ERROR anyway).
More importantly, now the size information is verified more
carefully in case raw decoder returns LZMA_OK. This doesn't
really matter with the current single-threaded .xz decoder
as the errors would be detected slightly later anyway. But
this helps avoiding corner cases in the upcoming threaded
decompressor, and it might help other Block decoder uses
outside liblzma too.
The test files bad-1-lzma2-{9,10,11}.xz test these conditions.
With the single-threaded .xz decoder the only difference is
that LZMA_DATA_ERROR is detected in a difference place now.
Previously lzma_lzma_props_encode() and lzma_lzma2_props_encode()
assumed that the options pointers must be non-NULL because the
with these filters the API says it must never be NULL. It is
good to do these checks anyway.
OpenBSD does not allow to change the group of a file if the user
does not belong to this group. In contrast to Linux, OpenBSD also
fails if the new group is the same as the old one. Do not call
fchown(2) in this case, it would change nothing anyway.
This fixes an issue with Perl Alien::Build module.
https://github.com/PerlAlien/Alien-Build/issues/62
Sometimes the version number from "less -V" contains a dot,
sometimes not. xzless failed detect the version number when
it does contain a dot. This fixes it.
Thanks to nick87720z for reporting this. Apparently it had been
reported here <https://bugs.gentoo.org/489362> in 2013.
Due to architectural limitations, address space available to a single
userspace process on MIPS32 is limited to 2 GiB, not 4, even on systems
that have more physical RAM -- e.g. 64-bit systems with 32-bit
userspace, or systems that use XPA (an extension similar to x86's PAE).
So, for MIPS32, we have to impose stronger memory limits. I've chosen
2000MiB to give the process some headroom.
Omit the -q option from xz, gzip, and bzip2. With xz this shouldn't
matter. With gzip it's important because -q makes gzip replace SIGPIPE
with exit status 2. With bzip2 it's important because with -q bzip2
is completely silent if input is corrupt while other decompressors
still give an error message.
Avoiding exit status 2 from gzip is important because bzip2 uses
exit status 2 to indicate corrupt input. Before this commit xzgrep
didn't recognize corrupt .bz2 files because xzgrep was treating
exit status 2 as SIGPIPE for gzip compatibility.
zstd still needs -q because otherwise it is noisy in normal
operation.
The code to detect real SIGPIPE didn't check if the exit status
was due to a signal (>= 128) and so could ignore some other exit
status too.
This is a minor fix since this affects only the situation when
the files differ and the exit status is something else than 0.
In such case there could be SIGPIPE from a decompression tool
and that would result in exit status of 2 from xzdiff/xzcmp
while the correct behavior would be to return 1 or whatever
else diff or cmp may have returned.
This commit omits the -q option from xz/gzip/bzip2/lzop arguments.
I'm not sure why the -q was used in the first place, perhaps it
hides warnings in some situation that I cannot see at the moment.
Hopefully the removal won't introduce a new bug.
With gzip the -q option was harmful because it made gzip return 2
instead of >= 128 with SIGPIPE. Ignoring exit status 2 (warning
from gzip) isn't practical because bzip2 uses exit status 2 to
indicate corrupt input file. It's better if SIGPIPE results in
exit status >= 128.
With bzip2 the removal of -q seems to be good because with -q
it prints nothing if input is corrupt. The other tools aren't
silent in this situation even with -q. On the other hand, if
zstd support is added, it will need -q since otherwise it's
noisy in normal situations.

When Intel CET is enabled, we need to include <cet.h> in assembly codes
to mark Intel CET support and add _CET_ENDBR to indirect jump targets.
Tested on Intel Tiger Lake under CET enabled Linux.
I don't want to use \c in macro arguments but groff_man(7)
suggests that \f has better portability. \f would be needed
for the .TP strings for portability reasons anyway.
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason.
A few are simply omitted, most are converted to "for example"
and surrounded with commas. Sounds like that this is better
style, for example, man-pages(7) recommends avoiding such
abbreviations except in parenthesis.
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason.
Docs of ancient troff/nroff mention \(em (em-dash) but not \(en
and \- was used for both minus and en-dash. I don't know how
portable \(en is nowadays but it can be changed back if someone
complains. At least GNU groff and OpenBSD's mandoc support it.
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason for the patch.

DJGPP 2.05 added support for thousands separators but it's
broken at least under WinXP with Finnish locale that uses
a non-breaking space as the thousands separator. Workaround
by disabling thousands separators for DJGPP builds.
