Subject: [PATCH] [e2fsprogs] e2fsck: fix segmentation fault when block size is greater than 8192
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:58:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4948BF24.3040601@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
When I did fsck a filesystem with large blocksize(greater than 8192),
segmentation fault occured. The cause is the size of b_data array that is
defined as a fixed size in buffer_head structure.
(File: e2fsck/jfs_user.h)
struct buffer_head {
char b_data[8192];
e2fsck_t b_ctx;
io_channel b_io;
int b_size;
blk_t b_blocknr;
int b_dirty;
int b_uptodate;
int b_err;
};
It is unreasonable, because if the blocksize is greater than 8192, b_data will
overflow and the other variable would be changed, then if we touch those
variable, segmentation fault occurs.
This patch fixes this bug.
