Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
partitions: mac: fix handling of bogus partition table<br />
<br />
Fix several issues in partition probing:<br />
<br />
- The bailout for a bad partoffset must use put_dev_sector(), since the<br />
preceding read_part_sector() succeeded.<br />
- If the partition table claims a silly sector size like 0xfff bytes<br />
(which results in partition table entries straddling sector boundaries),<br />
bail out instead of accessing out-of-bounds memory.<br />
- We must not assume that the partition table contains proper NUL<br />
termination - use strnlen() and strncmp() instead of strlen() and<br />
strcmp().
