From f66bc0e0beeff7fa27c29f740d2f314d63b3346d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heinrich Schuchardt Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2017 19:03:06 +0200 Subject: GPT: incomplete initialization in allocate_disk_part memset(newpart, '\0', sizeof(newpart)); only initializes the firest 4 or 8 bytes of *newpart and not the whole structure disk_part. We should use sizeof(struct disk_part). Instead of malloc and memset we can use calloc. Identified by cppcheck.
