Subject: [PATCH] grub-file: fix segmentation fault
Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 14:43:23 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160408064322.GA15761@linux-9gqx.suse> (raw)
In grub_file_open the file handle returned by file filters has no file->name
set which leads to segmentation fault later referenced by grub_elf_file. We
move the file->name value assignment after file filters to make sure it will be
set and returned.
The stack backtrace for reference.
gdb --args ./grub-file --is-x86_64-xen-domu /boot/vmlinux-4.1.12-1-default.gz
