[parted-devel] [PATCH 1/2] lib-fs-resize: Prevent crash resizing FAT with very deep directories

Resizing a FAT file system crashes in libparted/fs/r/fat/count.c
flag_traverse_dir() if the length of any path name in the file system
overflows the 512 byte file_name local buffer.  Increase buffer to 4096,
PATH_MAX on Linux.

 ** Bug Fixes
 
+  libparted-fs-resize: Prevent crash resizing FAT file systems with very
+  deep directories with path names over 512 bytes long.
+
   Use 512b sector size when communicating with device-mapper. Fixes
   problems with partitions being created too small on dm devices
   with sector sizes > 5121b
