Proof of Concept for CVE-2010-0105
This Proof of Concept demonstrates a Denial of Service attack on MacOS X 10.6 hfs file system. The exploit creates a PATH_MAX/2 directory tree to make an overflow, which causes diskutil and fsck_hfs to exit with sig=8.

The user should ensure that the PATH_MAX/2 directory tree is not created to prevent the overflow.
