loader: create local copy of mode list provided by vbeinfoblock
Apparently some systems do corrupt mode list memory area, so we need
to use local copy instead.
...
+ vbe_mode_list_size = (uintptr_t)p - (uintptr_t)ml;
+ vbe_mode_list = malloc(vbe_mode_list_size);
+ if (vbe_mode_list == NULL) {
+ free(vbe);
+ vbe = NULL;
+ free(vbe_mode);
+ vbe_mode = NULL;
+ }
+ bcopy(ml, vbe_mode_list, vbe_mode_list_size);
+
+ /* reset VideoModePtr, so we will not have chance to use bad data. */
+ vbe->VideoModePtr = 0;
If allocation of vbe_mode_list failed, you're freeing things that were
allocated before it, but then you're continuing on. The very next thing you do
is the bcopy(), which dereferences vbe_mode_list, which is NULL because of the
allocation failure.
That doesn't seem right.
Thanks,
Ravi (rpokala@)
