Util-linux 2.28 Release Notes
=============================
Now cfdisk, sfdisk and fdisk wipe all filesystem and RAID signatures when
creating a new disk label in interactive mode. It's possible to control this
feature with --wipe[=auto|never|always]. For non-terminals the feature is
disabled by default.
lsns -- this NEW COMMAND lists information about all currently accessible
namespaces or about the given namespace.
The command sfdisk supports new operations --delete, --move-data and --reorder.
The command blkdiscard supports a new option --zeroout to zero-fill rather than
discard a specified area.
The command cal supports a new option --span to span the date when displaying
multiple months (e.g. "cal --span --months 5" to display two months before and
two months after the current month).
The command chrt supports the DEADLINE scheduling class and the new options
--sched-runtime --sched-period and --sched-deadline.
The command logger supports RFC 5424 structured data through the new options
--sd-id and --sd-param.
The command losetup supports a new option --direct-io[=on|off].
The command lsblk allows to sort output by unprinted columns (e.g. lsblk
--output NAME --sort SIZE).
The command mount applies the nofail mount option to ENOMEDIUM errors.
The commands nsenter and unshare support a new option --cgroup for work with
cgroups namespaces (CLONE_NEWCGROUP).
The library libmount has been improved to properly detect already mounted btrfs
subvolumes.
The library libsmartcols has been massively improved to print table ranges,
multi-line cells, table titles and to support continuous printing.
The package build system and code have been improved to be more portable to
non-Linux systems (BSD, OSX).
The package does not provide fallback solutions for openat-family functions
anymore.
The python binding for libsmartcols is available in separate project at
https://github.com/ignatenkobrain/python-smartcols.
Security issues
---------------
CVE-2016-2779
This security issue is NOT FIXED yet. It is possible to disable the ioctl
TIOCSTI by setsid() only. Unfortunately, setsid() has well-defined use cases
in su(1) and runuser(1) and any changes would introduce regressions. It seems
we need a better way -- ideally another ioctl (or whatever is supported by the
kernel) to disable TIOCSTI without setsid().
