CVE-2019-13103: disk: stop infinite recursion in DOS Partitions
part_get_info_extended and print_partition_extended can recurse infinitely while parsing a self-referential filesystem or one with a silly number of extended partitions. This patch adds a limit to the number of recursive partitions. Signed-off-by: Paul Emge <paulemge@forallsecure.com>
