Description

Several function in cpukit/libfs/src/dosfs/msdos_misc.c use global buffer fs_info->cl_buf without explicit lock. This lead to situations when cl_buf contents are overwritten from other tasks.

Release:
4.6.4, probably all other versions

Environment:
all

How-To-Repeat:
Nearly impossible. We caught this bug inside complex application.

State-Changed-Why: This bug is invalid. I'm changing this on behalf of
Nickolay. His comment is:

We were wrong. Semaphores are already hold before functions
from msdos_misc are called. No bug here. Sorry.
