Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs-progs:  specify label length larger than 255 bytes cause mkfs.btrfs buffer overflow
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 12:35:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E5DBA27.90002@oracle.com> (raw)

Hello,

While going through the mkfs.c, I noticed there is an issue for label 
length checking, mkfs.btrfs will crashed if the label length exceeding 
255 bytes, it's easy to triggered that out as below:

jeff@pibroch:~/opensource/btrfs-progs$ sudo ./mkfs.btrfs -L `perl -e 
'print "A"x256'` /usr/src/linux-3.0/img0

WARNING! - Btrfs v0.19-35-g1b444cd IS EXPERIMENTAL
WARNING! - see http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org before using

a tiny patch could fix it.
