[PATCH] Do not segfault because of kernel version

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

 



mount.nfs segfaults if kernel version number does not contain
at least 3 components delimited with a dot.

Avoid this by matching up to three unsigned integers inialised
to zero, separated by dots.

A version that does not start with an integer is probably a future
version where the versioning evolved to another scheme.
Return UINT_MAX which is guaranteed to be higher than existing
versions. This would also make it possible to easily identify
versions that do not start with an integer.
