Looking at Linus' patch, I wonder whether the missing fd.entrylength
size test in the HFS_IS_RSRC(inode) case was due to the fact that a
file's resource fork may be empty?
But if that is the case, then the subsequent hfs_bnode_read would
return garbage, no? And then writing it back after the update would be
even worse.
So adding that
+ if (fd.entrylength < sizeof(struct hfs_cat_file))
+ goto out;
would seem to be the right thing anyway. No?
But I really don't know the code, so this is all from just looking at
it and going "that makes no sense". Maybe it _does_ make sense to
people who have more background on it.
