[PATCH 1/1] udf: fix silent AED tagLocation corruption

From: Steve Magnani
Date: Thu Jan 07 2021 - 18:43:17 EST


From: Steven J. Magnani <magnani@xxxxxxxx>

When extending a file, make sure that the pointer to the last written
extent does not get adjusted into the header (tag) portion of an
Allocation Extent Descriptor. Otherwise, a subsequent call to
udf_update_exents() can clobber the AED's tagLocation field, replacing
it with the logical block number of a file extent.
