This is the last bit fixing <https://bugs.gnu.org/35283>. Previously, 'mformat' (used by 'grub-mkrescue') would pass uninitialized bytes to write(2), leading to non-deterministic FAT image contents. This patch fixes that. * gnu/packages/patches/mtools-mformat-uninitialized.patch: New file. * gnu/packages/mtools.scm (mtools)[source]: Use it. * gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.

Fix a bug whereby 'mformat' could end up passing uninitialized bytes
|
|
to write(2). This could be reproduced with:
|
|
|
|
mformat -C -f 1440 -L 16 -N 77777777 -i /tmp/x ::
|
|
|
|
where the output of /tmp/x would be non-deterministic.
