Description Matthieu Herrb 2007-09-05 23:38:10 UTC
iDefense has sent us the attached draft advisory.
A fist look at the code seem to confirm the problem.
Patch should not be too hard. Looking at it.
Again probably not a blocker for 7.3 release.

proposed patch

Someone with more knowledge of the FS protocol should check the values I used in the consistency tests ? I'm not sure they are ok and haven't tried to validate them at run time...

update version of patch

I did some experiments myself. 
With proper expression grouping the code now looks correct to me.

Both issues (#12298 and this one) share CVE-2007-4568

The patch seems fine, that's mostly what it's being done in xfstt. You could use sz_fsQueryXExtents8Req and sz_fsQueryXBitmaps8Req istead of the SIZEOF, but I've not checked if those are used in the rest of the code base.
