>Description:
The cd9660 filesystem can not handle files of more than 2147483647 bytes,
while the specification of the filesystem arguably allows for files up to
4294967295 bytes. (Specifically, the "32 bit quantity" is not specified as
signed or unsigned. In my opinion, since negative file sizes are not
meaningfull, it should be interpreted as unsigned.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Mount an iso9660 filesystem containing a file of more than 2147483647
bytes, and try to access this file.
ls gives "ls: large_file: Value too large to be stored in data type",
attempts to read the file return EOF at once.
>Fix:
I have not tested this patch much, but it seems to work.
