* [U-Boot] [PATCH] FAT: buffer overflow with FAT12/16
From: Stefano Babic @ 2010-10-20  6:51 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: u-boot

Last commit 3831530dcb7b71329c272ccd6181f8038b6a6dd0a was intended
"explicitly specify FAT12/16 root directory parsing buffer size, instead
of relying on cluster size". Howver, the underlying function requires
the size of the buffer in blocks, not in bytes, and instead of passing
a double sector size a request for 1024 blocks is sent. This generates
a buffer overflow with overwriting of other structure (in the case seen,
USB structures were overwritten).
