[PATCH] fix segfault when lvm.conf is truncated.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When /etc/lvm/lvm.conf is truncated at the first '"' of a line, all LVM
utilities crash with a segfault.

The segfault only seems to occur if the last character is the first '"'
(double quote) of a line. If you truncate it at any other point, lvm detects the
error and report parse error

lvm.conf ends like this.

root#hexdump -C lvm.conf|tail

The fix is check p->tb and p->te in function _dup_tok. If in
this situation, the len would be less than zero.
