Release 2.17.2-9.1ubuntu1

75. By Loïc Minier on 2011-02-14

* Merge with Debian sid, adds support for armhf.
  - rules: fix name of README.modems-with-agetty.
  - control: drop breaks with udev and nfs-common and debhelper build-dep
    bump as these constraints are satisfied in lucid.
  - control: add suggests on nfs-common as to minimize delta with Debian.
  - libblkid1.preinst: drop, upgrades from lucid and onwards aren't
    affected.
  - util-linux.postinst: drop upgrade snippet as packages from lucid and
    onwards aren't affected.
  - libblkid1.symbols, libuuid1.symbols: copy from Debian as lucid has the
    highest version (2.17.2) anyway, and this is an useless diff against
    Debian.
  - rules: drop debian/util-linux.initramfs installation which was in an "if
    Debian" block but isn't actually in the Debian source package.
  - mount.preinst: restore nfs upgrade snippet, but use dpkg-vendor instead
    of lsb_release.
  - util-linux.preinst: drop hwclock.sh and hwclockfirst.sh removal snippet
  as it's not needed for upgrades from lucid and onwards anymore.
  - Remaining changes:
    . Since udev is required in Ubuntu, the hwclock.sh init script is
      not called on startup and the hwclockfirst.sh init script is
      removed.
    . Install custom blkid.conf to use /dev/.blkid.tab since we don't
      expect device names to survive a reboot
    . Use dpkg-vendor instead of lsb_release in mount.preinst to avoid a
      Pre-Depends otherwise; LP #383697.
    . Mention mountall(8) in fstab(5) manpages, along with its special
      options.
    . For the case where mount is called with a directory to mount, look
      that directory up in mountall's /lib/init/fstab if we couldn't find
      it mentioned anywhere else. This means "mount /proc", "mount /sys",
      etc. work.
    . sfdisk support for '+' with '-N'; LP #686124.
    . mount/umount.c: fix a segfault on umount with empty mtab entry;
      LP #579858.
    . Fix arbitrary unmount with fuse security issue; LP #670622.
      * This update adds support for new options required by the fuse
        security update.
      * mount/umount.{c,8}: Add --fake option to umount(8), which omits
        calling the actual umount syscall (and the loop device deletion) but
        modifies /etc/mtab.

* SECURITY UPDATE: arbitrary unmount with fuse (LP: #670622)
  - This update adds support for new options required by the fuse
    security update.
  - mount/umount.{c,8}: Add --fake option to umount(8), which omits
    calling the actual umount syscall (and the loop device deletion) but
    modifies /etc/mtab.
    - http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=97a3cef4f1
  - mount/devname.c: "Spec" was still canonicalized despite
    --no-canonicalize. This resulted in a hang during login with
    pam_encfs. (Debian Bug #593336)
    - http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=1cf4c20b19
  - CVE-2010-3879
