busybox-1.15.1-20.AXS4

Busybox is a single binary which includes versions of a large number of system commands, including a shell. This package can be very useful for recovering from certain types of system failures, particularly those involving broken shared libraries.

Security issues fixed with this release:

• CVE-2013-1813
util-linux/mdev.c in BusyBox before 1.21.0 uses 0777 permissions for parent directories when creating nested directories under /dev/, which allows local users to have unknown impact and attack vectors.

Fixed bugs:

• Previously, the "wc" BusyBox command failed after processing standard input with the following error: “wc: : No such file or directory”. This has been fixed by disabling the string size optimization

• The "mknod" command can now creates device nodes with a major or minor number larger than 255.

• When installing from an NFS server, the "mount" command could fail if the NFS server only supported TCP mounts, and the installation could not continue. This has been fixed and NFS mounts now default to TCP.
