Subject: [PATCH 5/5] fdisk: sgi: abort on HDIO_GETGEO failure
Date: Sun, 06 May 2012 14:10:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336306225.2685.14.camel@offbook> (raw)
From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@gnu.org>
When the HDIO_GETGEO ioctl fails on non IRIX/MIPS platforms (ie: inappropriate ioctl for device) the variables that describe the geometry are compromissed.
One clear example is a division by 0 bug because the cylinder size is 0 is verify_sgi():
$> fdisk sgi.img
Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.21.392-4b1c).
...
Command (m for help): x
Expert command (m for help): g
Building a new SGI disklabel.
Partition 11 of type SGI volume and of size 7.9 MiB is set
Floating point exception
Fix this by simply exiting the program instead of leaving it in a vulnerable state.
