Subject: [PATCH] partitions: mac: fix handling of bogus partition table
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2025 02:39:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250214-partition-mac-v1-1-c1c626dffbd5@google.com> (raw)
Fix several issues in partition probing:
- The bailout for a bad partoffset must use put_dev_sector(), since the
preceding read_part_sector() succeeded.
- If the partition table claims a silly sector size like 0xfff bytes
(which results in partition table entries straddling sector boundaries),
bail out instead of accessing out-of-bounds memory.
- We must not assume that the partition table contains proper NUL
termination - use strnlen() and strncmp() instead of strlen() and
strcmp().
