Description:

squashfs-tools 4.6-1 core dumps when packing files with POSIX ACLs.


Parallel mksquashfs: Using 4 processors
Creating 4.0 filesystem on /tmp/test.sfs, block size 131072.
Unrecognised xattr prefix ��e��U
free(): invalid pointer
[1] 17247 IOT instruction (core dumped) mksquashfs /tmp/sfstest /tmp/test.sfs -noappend



The "thing" after "Unrecognised xattr prefix" changes each time.
While squashfs does not support them, it never had a problem packing files and simply skipping the ACLs. With squashfs-tools 4.5.1-3 it worked fine, it simply complained.


Unrecognised xattr prefix system.posix_acl_default
Unrecognised xattr prefix system.posix_acl_access



Strangely, when run by mkarchiso, it didn't coredump. The warning text was still different than before, though.


Unrecognised xattr prefix (null)
