[PATCH] fdisk: fix segfault on bsd label

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

 



From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxx>

Commit 8db8295d824cd0c8cba9385e4635d6e311d69d3f added a regression that causes the program to crash when
touching the partition structure (pte) for BSD/OSF labels. Since DOS has its own initialization function,
allow BSD labels to use it as well.

Steps to reproduce:

$> fdisk bsd.img (obtained from blkid regression test files)
Command (m for help): p
...
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Segmentation fault

As discussed, this is a temporary fix, a nicer way of initializing bsd structures will be implemented in the short future.
