RH 9.0: /sbin/lsraid -A -p violates due to increasing line length in /proc/partitions. Compiled line length is 100. in 'load_partitions()', opens /proc/partitions and reads up to MAX_LINE_LENGTH. Since line lengths in /proc/partitions can exceed 100 chs, susequent reads get rubbish read and result is violation. Increasing MAX_LINE_LENGTH to 255 avoided problem and stopped violation. (This was the version of raidtools downloaded from http://people.redhat.com/mingo/raidtools). I note that FC3 does not have as many columns in /proc/partitions and so would not suffer from this problem ------- Additional Comments From pekkas 2004-12-21 08:29:13 ---- While this would be an easily fixable bug, this is not a security problem as those tools are not setuid. Feel free to reopen and debate this again if at some point we'll have to make a RHL9 update to raidtools for some other reason. ------- Bug moved to this database by dkl 2005-03-30 18:30 ------- This bug previously known as bug 2332 at https://bugzilla.fedora.us/ https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2332 Originally filed under the Fedora Legacy product and General component.
