Hi,

As noted on the vuln-dev list recently, the diskpart(1) program in
-stable is susceptible to a buffer overflow in the parsing of
command-line arguments.  This is a low-risk problem, since diskpart(1)
is not - and has never been, and has no reason to ever be - a privileged
program, but still, there should be no harm in fixing it :)

Attached are two patches: a trivial one which just fixes up two problems
in diskpart's argument parsing, and a more complex one, which does it
"the right way" IMHO, using getopt(3).

Comments?

G'luck,
Peter
