I lately fuzzed various filesystem check tools. This uncovered a number
of issues in dosfstools / fsck.fat that have now been fixed in the new
version 4.0. All issues were found with american fuzzy lop and address
sanitizer.

https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools/issues/11
Global out of bounds read file_stat() / check_dir()

https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools/issues/25
Heap overflow in read_fat()
https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools/issues/26
Heap out of bounds read in get_fat()
https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools/commit/e8eff147e9da1185f9afd5b25948153a3b97cf52
Git commit / fix for both issues

These bugs can pose a security risk if a system automatically checks
attached storage media with fsck or in situations where filesystems on
untrusted devices get checked. The new version dosfstools 4.0 fixes all
four bugs.
