Fix heap overflow and endless loop in exfatfsck
exfat-utils is a collection of tools to work with the exFAT filesystem.
Fuzzing the exfatfsck with american fuzzy lop led to the discovery of a
write heap overflow and an endless loop.
Especially at risk are systems that are configured to run filesystem
checks automatically on external devices like USB flash drives.
A malformed input can cause a write heap overflow in the function
verify_vbr_checksum. It might be possible to use this for code
execution.
Another malformed input can cause an endless loop, leading to a
possible denial of service.
