Description
Multiple security vulnerabilities have been fixed in e2fsprogs:
* Heap-based buffer overflow in openfs.c in the libext2fs library
  in e2fsprogs before 1.42.12 allows local users to execute
  arbitrary code via crafted block group descriptor data in a
  filesystem image (CVE-2015-0247).
* Heap-based buffer overflow in closefs.c in the libext2fs library
  in e2fsprogs before 1.42.12 allows local users to execute
  arbitrary code by causing a crafted block group descriptor to be
  marked as dirty. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an
  incomplete fix for CVE-2015-0247 (CVE-2015-1572).
