System: NetBSD zun 5.99.39 NetBSD 5.99.39 (ZUN3PAE_DOM0) #2: Fri Oct 15

i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
amd64 is also affected.
>Description:
The length of a boot.cfg command is limited to ~80 bytes,
which is rather too short.
If the length is longer than ~80bytes, it corrupts stack.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try following line in /boot.cfg and boot XEN.
menu=Boot Xen with 3.5GB for dom0:load /netbsd-XEN3PAE_DOM0 console=pc
pciback.hide=(00:1a.0)(00:1a.1)(00:1a.2)(00:1a.7); multiboot /xen.gz
dom0_mem=3584M
dmesg:
pci0: i/o space, memory space enabled
pciback_pci_init: hide claim device 0:1a:0
pciback_pci_init: hide claim device 0:1a:1
pciback_pci_init: hide claim device 0:1a:2
pciback_pci_init: syntax error at 00:1a.
...
Note the load command exeeds 80byte long and pciback.hide string
is cut in the midle.
>Fix:
At least sys/arch/i386/stand/lib/bootmenu.c::doboottypemenu()
copies a command into 80byte buffer (without boundary checking)
and needs fixed.
Here's untested patch. The maximum size of boot.ini is 32KB.
