The ext2fsprogs package contains essential ext2 filesystem utilities which consists of e2fsck, mke2fs, debugfs, dumpe2fs, tune2fs, and most of the other core ext2 filesystem utilities.

This release fixes a bug in mke2fs which caused stack garbage to be
written to disk when zapping disk sectors. (This bug could cause
mke2fs to core dump for some kernels.)
