s390-tools-rhel6-fdasd-buffer-overflow-in-error-message.patch Description: fdasd: buffer overflow when writing to read-only device Symptom: When fdasd tries to write to a read-only disk, it fails with a '*** buffer overflow detected ***' error message. Problem: It is expected that fdasd cannot write to a read-only disk, and such an operation should end with a proper error message. The libvtoc code, which writes this message, contains the bug that causes the buffer overflow. Solution: Directly print the error message, without formatting it first in a buffer. The patch has been tested, fixes the problem, and will be included in the next upstream release of the s390-tools. With best regards, Hendrik
