>Description:
The file /usr/src/lib/libdisk/disk.c contains a confusing loop
which seems not to do what it is expected to do. It is this one:
p = read_block(fd,0);
dp = (struct dos_partition*)(p+DOSPARTOFF);
for(i=0;i<NDOSPART;i++) {
if (dp->dp_start >= size) continue;
if (dp->dp_start+dp->dp_size >= size) continue;
if (!dp->dp_size) continue;
if (dp->dp_typ == DOSPTYP_ONTRACK) {
d->flags |= DISK_ON_TRACK;
offset = 63;
}
}
This loop just increments i but besides setting d->flags and
offset if the structure pointed to by dp contains DOSPTYP_ONTRACK in
dp_typ it does nothing. It just works on the same entry NDOSPART
times which can't be right.
My guess is dp should have either be used as array with i as
index or should have been incremented after each iteration. Anyway,
something is wrong here.
>How-To-Repeat:
Take a look at FreeBSD 2.2-release libdisk in file disk.c at
about line 100.
