gpt: harden set_gpt_info() against non NULL-terminated strings
Strings read from devices may sometimes fail to be NULL-terminated. The functions in lib/string.c are subject to failure in this case. Protect against observed failures in set_gpt_info() by switching to length-checking variants with a length limit of the maximum possible partition table length. At the same time, add a few checks for NULL string pointers. Here is an example as observed in sandbox under GDB: => gpt verify host 0 $partitions Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000477747 in strlen (s=0x0) at lib/string.c:267 267 for (sc = s; *sc != '\0'; ++sc) (gdb) bt #0 0x0000000000477747 in strlen (s=0x0) at lib/string.c:267 #1 0x00000000004140b2 in set_gpt_info (str_part=<optimized out>, str_disk_guid=str_disk_guid@entry=0x7fffffffdbe8, partitions=partitions@entry=0x7fffffffdbd8, parts_count=parts_count@entry=0x7fffffffdbcf "", dev_desc=<optimized out>) at cmd/gpt.c:415 #2 0x00000000004145b9 in gpt_verify (str_part=<optimized out>, blk_dev_desc=0x7fffef09a9d0) at cmd/gpt.c:580 #3 do_gpt (cmdtp=<optimized out>, flag=<optimized out>, argc=<optimized out>, argv=0x7fffef09a8f0) at cmd/gpt.c:783 #4 0x00000000004295b0 in cmd_call (argv=0x7fffef09a8f0, argc=0x5, flag=<optimized out>, cmdtp=0x714e20 <_u_boot_list_2_cmd_2_gpt>) at common/command.c:500 #5 cmd_process (flag=<optimized out>, argc=0x5, argv=0x7fffef09a8f0, repeatable=repeatable@entry=0x726c04 <flag_repeat>, ticks=ticks@entry=0x0) at common/command.c:539 Suggested-by: Lothar Waßmann <LW@karo-electronics.de> Signed-off-by: Alison Chaiken <alison@peloton-tech.com>
