[PATCH] block: not create too many partitions

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

 



Commit a33df75c6328 ("block: use an xarray for disk->part_tbl") drops
check on max supported partitions number, and allows partition with
bigger partition number to be added. However, ->bd_partno is defined
as u8, so partition index of xarray table may not match with ->bd_partno.
Then delete_partition() may delete one unmatched partition, and caused
use-after-free.

Another fix is to define ->bd_partno as u32, not sure if we need to
support so many partitions.
