I've just updated the version of sharutils to 4.3.80-1.
This is an official upstream release. The Cygwin version has just a
tiny configure tweak. sharutils pass all (three) tests in the testsuite.
NEWS relative to the previous 4.2.1 release:
Version 4.3.80 - April 2005, by Bruce Korb
* Buglet: Unlink the temporary file when unsharing from stdin.
Version 4.3.79 - April 2005, by Bruce Korb
* rewrote the temporary file handling in unshar to avoid both a theoretical
timing hole (hitting it requires cooperation) and a buffer overrun
attack (a file name exceeding 1K).
* new translations and updates. They are all now missing two messages:
"allocate file name buffer" and "allocate file buffer". *sigh*.
Version 4.3.78 - January 2005, by Bruce Korb
* fixed test to not require updates for every release number
* fixed the uuencode man page so that docbook generation can work correctly.
Version 4.3.77 - September 2004, by Bruce Korb
* Fixed a buffer overrun exploit
Version 4.3.76 - December 2002, by Karl Eichwalder
* Updated translations: de et fr sv tr.

Version 4.3.60 - June 2002, by Karl Eichwalder
* Provide a 'compress-dummy' script. Install it if 'compress' isn't
available. Create a link 'compress' pointing to 'compress-dummy';
thus it is possible to unshar legacy shar files calling
'compress -d'.
* shar: Don't offer '-Z' resp. '--compress' if the system doesn't
support 'compress'.
Version 4.3.52 - June 2002, by Karl Eichwalder
