Subject: [PATCH] Fix EDD3.0 data verification.
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 13:21:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110202112139.GD14984@redhat.com> (raw)
Check for nonzero path in edd_has_edd30() has no sense. First, it looks
at the wrong memory. Device path starts at offset 30 of the info->params
structure which is at offset 8 from the beginning of info structure, but
code looks at info + 4 instead. This was correct when code was introduced,
but around v2.6.4 three more fields were added to edd_info structure
(commit 66b61a5c in history.git). Second, even if it will check correct
memory it will always succeed since at offset 30 (params->key) there will
be non-zero values otherwise previous check would fail.
The patch replaces this bogus check with one that verifies checksum.
