+ <p>Fix a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted
+ filesystem can be corrupted in such a way that a program using
+ libext2fs will allocate a buffer which is far too small. This
+ can lead to either a crash or potentially a heap-based buffer
+ overflow crash. No known exploits exist, but main concern is
+ where an untrusted user who possesses privileged access in a
+ guest Xen environment could corrupt a filesystem which is then
+ accessed by thus allowing the untrusted user to gain privileged
+ access in the host OS. Thanks to the McAfee AVERT Research group
+ for reporting this issue.</p>
