fix: wrong initrd reading implementation #988

Closed toku-sa-n closed 2 years ago

toku-sa-n commented 3 years ago

The current implementation of reading the initrd file does not consider its size. It is dangerous as a pointer may point to an address that is out of the range of the initrd. Fix this not to create an invalid value. Also, consider using the cpio_reader crate.
