[PATCH] pktcdvd: Fix overflow for discs with large packets
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The pktcdvd driver was using an 8 bit field to store the packet length
obtained from the disc track info.  This causes it to overflow packet length
values of 128KB or more.  I changed the field to 32 bits to fix this.

The pktcdvd driver defaulted to its maximum allowed packet length when it
detected a 0 in the track info field.  I changed this to fail the operation
and refuse to access the media.  This seems more sane than attempting to
access it with a value that almost certainly will not work.
