Description Chris Abbey 2006-01-24 17:47:35 UTC

you can make 'mkudffs' segv trivially with the following:

dd if=/dev/zero of=tst_udf bs=1024k count=8
mkudffs --media-type=dvd tst_udf

it's a simple endian issue, fixed in community cvs:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/linux-udf/udftools/mkudffs/mkudffs.c?r1=1.3&r2=1.4&diff_format=u

(reported as ppc since that's where I found it, applies to all big endian platforms.)
