[PATCH] kexec-tools, ppc64: Fix segfault on parsing of large device trees.

Matt Evans matt at ozlabs.org
Mon May 10 00:39:34 EDT 2010


ppc64's fs2dt used to use a fixed-size array into which the device tree
was parsed.  There was no bounds checking, so with a large device tree other
heap data ended up getting stomped -- SIGSEGV time.

This patch adds a function, 'dt_reserve', to check whether there's enough space
left prior to writing data to the array.  If not, the array is realloced.
