CVE: CVE-2015-1572

Description

Updated e2fsprogs packages fix security vulnerability:

The libext2fs library, part of e2fsprogs and utilized by its utilities, is
affected by a boundary check error on block group descriptor information,
leading to a heap based buffer overflow. A specially crafted filesystem image
can be used to trigger the vulnerability. This is due to an incomplete fix
