[U-Boot-Users] Bug in tools/fw_env.c ?

14 Sep 2005

      Greetings
Just a quick arm wave to see if I have the logic right.
In a redundant environment when both sets are corrupt, the env_init 
function sets the environment data pointer to the default data. If this 
is then added to by the fw_setenv function, the memory overwritten is 
not the calloc'ed space that is big enough to hold the extra data but 
the initialised memory of the program that contains the defaults! 
Methinks that the defaults should be memcpy'ed into the calloc'ed space.
I've not looked at the non-redundant env case.
