blosc2.c in Blosc C-Blosc2 through 2.0.0.beta.5 has a heap-based buffer overflow when there is a lack of space to write compressed data.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - blosc2.c in Blosc C-Blosc2 through 2.0.0.beta.5 has a heap-based buffer overflow when there is a lack of
    space to write compressed data. (CVE-2020-29367)

This update for blosc fixes the following issues :

Update to version 1.20.1 boo#1179914 CVE-2020-29367 :

  - More saftey checks have been implemented so that     potential flaws discovered by new fuzzers in OSS-Fuzzer     are fixed now

  - BloscLZ updated to 2.3.0. Expect better compression     ratios for faster codecs. For details, see our new blog     post: https://blosc.org/posts/beast-release/

  - Fixed the _xgetbv() collision. Thanks to Micha&#x142;
    G&oacute;rny (@mgorny).

Update to version 1.19.0 :

  - The length of automatic blocksizes for fast codecs (lz4,     blosclz) has been incremented quite a bit (up to 256 KB)     for better compression ratios.

  - The performance in modern CPUs (with at least 256 KB in     L2 cache) should be better too (for older CPUs the     performance should stay roughly the same).

  - For small buffers that cannot be compressed (typically <     128 bytes), blosc_compress() returns now a 0 (cannot     compress) instead of a negative number (internal error).
    See #294.

  - blosclz codec updated to 2.1.0. Expect better     compression ratios and performance in a wider variety of     scenarios.

  - blosc_decompress_unsafe(), blosc_decompress_ctx_unsafe()     and blosc_getitem_unsafe() have been removed because     they are dangerous and after latest improvements, they     should not be used in production.

Update to version 1.18.1 :

  - Fixed the copy of the leftovers of a chunk when its size     is not a multiple of the typesize.

Update to version 1.17.1 :

  - BloscLZ codec updated to 2.0.0.

Update to version 1.16.3 :

  - Fix for building for clang with -march=haswell. See PR     #262.

  - Fix all the known warnings for GCC/Clang. Still some     work to do for MSVC in this front.

  - Due to some problems with several CI systems, the check     for library symbols are deactivated now by default. If     you want to enforce this check, use: cmake ..
    -DDEACTIVATE_SYMBOLS_CHECK=ON to re-activate it.

  - Correct the check for the compressed size when the     buffer is memcpyed. This was a regression introduced in     1.16.0. Fixes #261.

  - Fixed a regression in 1.16.0 that prevented to compress     empty buffers (see #260).

  - Now the functions that execute Blosc decompressions are     safe by default for untrusted/possibly corrupted inputs.

  - The previous functions (with less safety) checks are     still available with a '_unsafe' suffix. The complete     list is :

  - Also, a new API function named blosc_cbuffer_validate(),     for validating Blosc compressed data, has been added.

  - For details, see PR #258. Thanks to Jeremy     Maitin-Shepard.

  - Fixed a bug in blosc_compress() that could lead to     thread deadlock under some situations. See #251. Thanks     to @wenjuno for the report and the fix.

  - Fix data race in shuffle.c host_implementation     initialization. Fixes #253. Thanks to Jeremy     Maitin-Shepard.

  - Add workaround for Visual Studio 2008's lack of a     stdint.h file to blosclz.c.

  - Replaced //-comments with /**/-comments and other     improvements for compatibility with quite old gcc     compilers. See PR #243. Thanks to Andreas Martin.

  - Empty buffers can be compressed again (this was     unadvertedly prevented while fixing #234). See #247.
    Thanks to Valentin Haenel.

Update to version 1.14.4 :

  - Added a new DEACTIVATE_SSE2 option for cmake that is     useful for disabling SSE2 when doing cross-compilation     (see #236).

  - New check for detecting output buffers smaller than     BLOSC_MAX_OVERHEAD.

  - The complib and version parameters for     blosc_get_complib_info() can be safely set to NULL now.
    This allows to call this function even if the user is     not interested in these parameters (so no need to     reserve memory for them).

  - In some situations that a supposedly blosc chunk is     passed to blosc_decompress(), one might end with an     Arithmetic exception. This is probably due to the chunk     not being an actual blosc chunk, and divisions by zero     might occur. A protection has been added for this.

Update to version 1.14.3 :

  - Fixed a bug that caused C-Blosc to crash on platforms     requiring strict alignment.

  - Fixed a piece of code that was not C89 compliant.
